Manikumar, Chairman, Block Panchayat Standing Committee, inaugurated the function held at the College Auditorium. He
emphasised the importance of environmental organisations in implementing such projects in colleges. In his keynote address, Dr P S Easa, Chairman of the Aranyakam Nature Foundation, pointed out the importance of celebrating Environment Day.
