Together, everyone planted more than a thousand plants in the entire campus.
Ancient Gurukuls used to be in the middle of dense forests
Director of the Institute, Prof. Seema Paroha said that trees are the main components of the environment and life is impossible to imagine without them. Our ancient Gurukuls used to be located in dense forests, away from the reach of the common people, where students eager to acquire knowledge used to acquire knowledge from wise sages in the Shruti tradition.
Mahatma Buddha attained enlightenment under the Ashwattha tree. Today science has proved that any subject can be memorized more quickly by studying under trees in a peaceful environment.
Vice Chancellor Prof. Vinay Pathak was welcomed.
forest land is being reduced
Chief guest Prof. Vinay Pathak said that in a crowded city like Kanpur, the places which have preserved trees even today include National Sugar Institute, Indian Institute of Technology, Allen Forest, Zoo, University, HBTI etc. Today, the way forest land is being reduced for agriculture and housing construction, its adverse effects have started to appear.
Nature, which nurtures us like a mother, does not refuse directly, but when it punishes, there is immense loss of life and property. Be it the tragedy of Kedarnath or Wayanad. Human beings do not even get a chance to recover. It is in the interest of all of us that we plant as many trees as possible.
Coming to NSI gives the experience of coming to another state
Divisional Forest Officer Divya said that whenever I get an opportunity to visit NSI or IIT, I feel as if I have come to some other state. The climate and temperature here automatically makes me feel like I am in some other place even when my eyes are closed. I remember the beauty of some forest state when I see the greenery of the National Sugar Institute campus.
On this occasion, former director, Prof. D. Swain, Manmohan Sachdeva, Prasenjit Deb, PK Mishra etc. were present.
