SAVE
THE RIVERS CAMPAIGN (NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AMRITSAR PROJECT)
ON THE
SHORES OF DIFFERENT RIVERS.
During our last URI National
Assembly at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, we had a session on
Environment. After class, We asked the participants to assemble in groups and
design projects to save our Earth—projects that URI India can undertake. After
listening to all the groups, the whole Assembly voted for two best projects. We
announced cash awards for these two—600 and 400 U.S dollars. Dr. Maharul
Hassan’s group (Bhopal) won the first prize for a project related to
water and sanitation and Mariamma Mathew’s group from Kerala won the second
prize for a “Save the Rivers Campaign’. These two naturally became URI National
projects.
The Kerala group has identified
several rivers and rivulets where they are planting bamboo trees on the
shores. It is an amazing program that has attracted the attention of all and
several of our CCs are participating in this. It is an ongoing project in which
three CCs are taking leading roles, viz. Vettikkavala Nature CC, International
Centre for Study and Development CC Valakom and Karickam International School CC.
We can do wonders with the help of our youngsters.
