Vishwambhara -24
On 28th November 2024, the EARTH Club of Ajay Kumar Garg Institute of Management organized an inspiring event – “Vishwambhara” – which stood as a remarkable example of promoting environmental conservation and the importance of recycling. The primary aim of the event was to encourage the principles of the 3Rs – Recycle, Reduce, Reuse and to provide a creative platform for students to showcase innovation and sustainability. Students created unique and useful products using old paper and plastic. The competition featured three rounds Paper Recycling, Plastic Recycling, and Product Making using a combination of both materials.
The event was inaugurated under the guidance of the Director, Dr. T. R. Pandey. In his address, he appreciated the initiative taken by the EARTH Club for raising awareness about environmental conservation and sustainability. Dr. Sarjue Pandita and Dr. Sanghamitra Das served as the panel of judges and evaluated the students’ projects, praising their creativity and innovative ideas.
“Vishwambhara” was not just a competition, but a platform to inspire students to think about solutions to environmental problems. The event conveyed a strong message that small habits – like recycling waste and reusing old materials – can make a significant impact in addressing environmental challenges. During the event, students adopted creative and practical approaches to confront ecological issues.
In the Creative Product Competition, Khushi Tyagi and Jhanvi Yadav won first place for their photo frame made from recycled paper.
Arun and Aashna secured second place for their paper bags made through paper recycling.
Meet Lakhmani and Aastha Sharma achieved third place for their vase with flowers made from both paper and plastic.
The Vishwambhara event proved that even small efforts can lead to big changes. It not only succeeded in promoting environmental responsibility among students but also played a crucial role in nurturing their creativity and innovation. The EARTH Club announced that similar activities will be organized in the future to ensure a wider contribution towards environmental conservation.
NUKKAD NATAK
Title: "Go Green, Sustain Tomorrow"
EARTH Club performed a Nukkad Natak on a story of an Earth facing severe environmental degradation due to deforestation, pollution, and waste. Through engaging scenes, members illustrated the dire consequences of neglecting the environment, including health problems and loss of biodiversity. A turning point in the Natak comes when earth challenges pollution and request everyone to unite to adopt eco-friendly practices such as planting trees, recycling, and conserving water. The Natak ended with a powerful message: individual actions, when combined, can lead to significant positive change. Members advocated to "Go Green" and commit to sustaining a healthy environment for future generations.
