Prakriti Activities 2009-2010

It continued to make its mark in maintaining the environmental consciousness and aesthetic greenery of College. The society inaugurated the year with the sapling plantation for freshers. This was followed by a talk by Dr. Aarti Bhalla on “Impact of Climate Change in India ”. The society worked towards promoting a peaceful Diwali by organizing a workshop to paint diyas that were then were sold at the NSS Diwali Mela. The Prakriti stall saw a host of products such as painted ‘kulhads’ which could be used as pen stands, saplings, recycled paper etc. The English Debating Society and Prakriti organized The Murlidhar Memorial Debate on the theme of “Climate Change”. The society also conducted a paper recycling drive. One of the major projects of the society was the mapping of the college’s carbon footprint. A report on this was presented to the college community during Prakriti week. The week also witnessed a series of events including talks on “Youth and Environment” by members of IYCN. There were two movie screenings. The first was The Hunted about tiger poachers and the second was A Degree of Concern about the impact of melting glaciers in Leh, Ladakh. There was a photography competition organized on the theme of ‘Capturing the secrets of Nature’. The week culminated with a nature walk conducted by Mr Ajay Mahajan. Prakriti won accolades at the DU Flower show.  Its members won second and third prize in the eastern style flower arrangement and third prize in the western style flower arrangement.

PRAKRITI - The Environmental Society

Prakriti or the environment society is the platform through which students enlighten themselves and others about the importance of environmental issues and sustainable development. Every fresher enters the vast arena of extracurricular activities of LSR by first planting a sapling on their orientation day organized by our society. We hope to initiate freshness, new life into the college, by entrusting each student with a sapling to nurture, to love and enjoy the beauty of watching it grow. Throughout any given year, we organize various competitions, workshops, seminars and talks on nature to explore the different ideas that students may embark upon. During the Diwali Mela, Prakriti displays the LSR jute bags and calendars. We also lead the colleges in the Delhi University Flower Show and have won the prestigious Green Cup of Delhi University for the 9th consecutive year. Prakriti seeks to foster every individual’s natural love for nature and works to inspire their willingness to work for the environment.

Logo Making Competition

The logo making competition organized by Entretia saw active participation by students. The numerous entries which we received is proof enough of that. Students from all the three years and different courses turned up at the given time for the event and soon the venue i.e. the Principal’s gazebo transformed into an artist’s paradise (see pic). Students came with really innovative ideas and cool concepts. Our judge for the event Mr. Shadab Mobin had a really tough time choosing the winner. Finally Chhavi was declared the winner. Also, the winning entry will serve as the official logo for Entretia!

National Entrepreneurship Network Session

Entretia organized the orientation of National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN) on our campus this Thursday. The interactive session took place in room no 28, and keeping in mind the fact that it is the ‘assignment season’ in our college – almost every department is busy with assignments- we had pretty good crowd for the event. The session unfolded slowly with a short presentation which was followed by a witty and straightforward talk on entrepreneurship. The audience which was pretty much impressed by Mr. Siddharth’s speaking skills and good sense of humour, made the session all the more interesting. The session turned out to be a fun event, where not only did the students interact with the NEN representatives during the workshop, but they could be seen talking to them even after the session was over. Thanks to the Entrepreneurship cell of our college we got to attend such a lively session after a long time!
