Title- To Beautify the Campus with Trees & get it branded as „Green  Campus‟.

Objectives –

              To keep our campus as much green as possible.

           To keep environmental balance through tree plantations.

           To create awareness among the students.

 

The context – S.R.S.K.J. Govt. Girls College is situated in the heart of the jalore city. The district derives its name from the town of jalore which is head quarter of the district administration. It is situated in the south-west portion of rajasthan state and bounded by north latitudes 24° 37‟ to 25° 49‟ and east longitude 71° 11‟ to 73° 05‟ .

It has a dry climate with large extremes of temperature and low rain. Due to low rain fall, the greenery of the campus started getting affected. In this situation the college administration resolved to make it a priority to involve students and staff to help maintain greenery on the campus.

The Practice – The college entrance is lined with many trees. The college administration decided to plant many more trees to make the whole campus beautiful as well as to create a natural environment for the students. The college building‟ roof water is being harvested and stored in small covered two tanks to recharge the ground water. The stored water is utilized for tree plantation. To maintain the gardens for keeping environmental balance the college has taken initiative and planted various types of trees. Some of the trees are useful to improve the fertility of soil and avoid soil erosion. The College has taken innovative steps to keep the environmental balance by making a habit of planting the trees by the faculty members and employees either on their special days like birthdays, wedding anniversary or on the day of receipt of salary arrears etc. on the college campus.

Evidence of Success- .The newly developed tradition of planting trees on special occasions has resulted into beautification of campus as well as instilling a sense of attachment in the faculty members, employees, and students with the College. The ongoing tradition led to the idea of developing a new garden at the back of the main administrative building and the development of the same is going on. Also the trees are trimmed during winter season to make them flourished throughout the year.

Problems Encountered and Resource Required -First, the college doesn‟t have any human resource for this purpose, like Gardener and helper. Secondly, the college doesn‟t have any special fund for it, so, it becomes difficult to take up the activity on a large scale. Majority of the trees are donated by the students, local citizens, and the serving teachers / employees.

Notes: The College has taken initiative and implemented effectively with the help of teaching and non- teaching staff. The college administration has done its best to cope up with the water scarcity problem and help plant as many trees as possible to keep our campus green. The idea of planting saplings on special occasions has gone very well with the teaching and non-teaching staff and the idea would not have been successful without their contributions and support. Thus, the College has, successfully,

developed and realized its plan to develop an interest amongst teachers, employees, and students towards tree plantation.
