World
Environment Day has been started celebrating as an annual event on every 5th
of June since 1973 in order to raise the global awareness about the importance
of the healthy and green environment in the human lives. People of all age
groups actively involve during the celebration to save their planet in original
form as gifted by the nature.
On
5 June 2017, the students of III Semester MSW (Clinical and Community Practice)
as part of service learning celebrated Environment Day in the University in
collaboration with Center for Social Action (CSA). The theme for 2017 was
"connecting people to nature". The theme for World Environment Day
2017, implores us to get outdoors and into nature, to appreciate its beauty and
its importance, and to take forward the call to protect the Earth that we
share. The students made posters to promote awareness about environment among everyone
in the campus. The team also took part in selling the products made by women
with recyclable units, along with Parivarthana team. The team was part of campaigning during lunch
break. They could interact with the many from student and staff community of
the University.
In the age of smart phones and distractions of
modern life, connections with nature can be momentary. The street play rendered
a human face to environmental issues. The whole program promoted an
understanding that, student communities can act a pivotal role to change
attitudes towards environmental issues. World Environment Day Celebrations
could make clearer than ever that, we need harmony between humanity and nature
so that both are able to flourish.
