NSS Contributes to Tree
Plantation Drive
Despite the grave problem of global warming and heavy deforestation,
the common people are still unaware of these environmental issues. Yet there
are few eco-friendly groups that work for conservation and growth of our
surrounding atmosphere. And it has been a long tradition of the NSS unit of our
college to extend a helping hand to such groups and to take the lion’s share in
the endeavor to conserve the environment.
Recently the NSS volunteers of our college worked for the cause,
participating in the tree plantation programme in collaboration with ‘Shree
Charitable Trust’ and ‘Swarup Savali’. For the last few years, Shree charitable
Trust has been conducting the activity of tree plantation along the
Ratnagiri-Pavas Road. This noble activity was carried out on 27th and 28th of June which successfully achieved the target
of planting 100 plants.
The inauguration was done by the hands of a senior pilgrim who was on
his way to a group from ‘’Paud’’, a remote place near the site of project. The
founder of this trust, Mr. Shreenivas Gogate, personally participated along
with the programme officers of our NSS unit, Prof. Vasudev Athalye and Dr.
Sonali Kadam. Great emphasis was given on the selection of plants underlining
the specific characteristics of producing maximum oxygen and rendering wide
shadow. All the NSS volunteers of our
unit who participated in the activity gave their hundred percent for the noble
cause.
The Arts Film Club Screens
Syllabi-based Movies for MA and TYBA Students
18th
July, 2014
The well-known filmmaker Dr. Jabbar Patel’s movie
viz. ‘Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar’ was screened on 10th July for the
students of Marathi MA II. This event was held in collaboration with Department
of Marathi and the Film Club of the College so as to provide the students with
the background information about the Dalit Literature. This movie was shown in
particular as it depicts the life of Dr.Ambedkar, without whom the study of
Dalit Sahitya is literally incomplete. The screening of this movie was done
under the guidance of Prof. Gopale from Department of Marathi.
Another movie viz. ‘Dance Like a Man’ was screened
by the Dept of English and the Film Club for the students of TYBA (English), as
the movie is based on Mahesh Dattani’s play of the same title which is a part
of their syllabus. The movie, being a very fine work of art and giving the
message that one should maintain balance both between their family life and
their ambitions, was very much appreciated by all the students. Both the movies
proved helpful for the students for the better understanding of the theories
and the representative texts prescribed for them.

Be Eco –
Friendly Consumers!
A world famous misunderstanding has
gained popularity that road rallies, plays, slogans and plantation of sapling
on our birthday (every year in the same hole!) will save our earth. Efforts are
good but going fruitless. Then what should actually be done?
Problem of environment can be
overcome only when longer part of world’s population will be employed in the
production of Eco-friendly goods and services like organic food, energy saving
appliances (solar water heater, earthen cooler pot), naturally disposable
commodities like Bamboo Pen, other Bamboo and wooden substitutes of plastic and
so on.
That is why we, as consumers, should
change our attitude. 100% organic sugar
is available in the markets at Rs. 70/Kg.
Where normal (chemical mixed) sugar is for around Rs. 30-40. A regular
consumer will purchase the cheaper one but if affordable, we should always
purchase organic because we are contributing the extra price for the savage of
earth. Thus, spending on eco- friendly products without considering the price
will be the starting point of earth saving movement.
So, Be
Eco-Friendly Consumers.
