As green enthusiasts we feel obliged when we meet people with the same frequency. Sometimes we just get a bit more lucky when we meet those who inspire us.

" At a student level, let us atleast have a clear
conscience from our side, the importance of conserving the water bodies, the
rivers. Now we are so careless we are not even thinking of the pollution in the
rivers. Just by being concerned automatically you’ll tell your friends, family
and it’s a chain reaction, they will also appreciate it. Students need to be
concerned about the damage being caused to the environment today. That’s one
reason why supreme court has recently asked all the colleges, be it
engineering, arts commerce to teach environmental education at a graduation
level. It is certainly a necessity, awareness has to come"
