Spread Greenery to the Hostel Rooms in IITR and say we r close to Environment

Hi friends,
I got new idea, Distributing 1 or 2 plants to every student in the campus of IIT Roorkee, ofcourse only to those who are really interested, to keep in their Balconies.

We have Good green environment in the campus. I accept that, but what made me to think in this way is our rooms environment is totally away from the environment of campus. Dark, disappointing, uncleaned rooms and balconies. But I hope a plant can serve better for this cause, I think there is no need to prove.

For Example, 3 weeks before I brought 4 Plants and kept in my Balcony. Now one of them is with full of Flowers. I can't explain howmuch relief I get whenever I open my Balcony door and see those Plants and Flowers. You too can see them from the road before Ravindra Bhawan in the middle balcony in the 1st floor.

Ofcourse I am sure that many people will be Knowing much about Plants and Gardening than the a,b,c,d s I know in these areas. Please come up with your Ideas and Comments.

nearly 1000 children not tasted fruits of education near IITR campus

Hi,

 Last Sunday(3rd feb'08), I have been to Kaliyar, a village 7km away from IIT Roorkee towards Haridwar.
There is a Darga which is very famous and attracts many Muslim Brothers from all over India, even from Pakistan.

When I entered the Village I really astonished to see the no.of huts (nearly 300-400) on the banks of Ganga Canal in bad condition. And can you guess what all the members in every family including children do for a  living?? BEGGING....
Very  few  work in some hotels and shops nearby. These people have migrated from many parts of the country, some even from Pakistan.

The sad part of this story is that..... nearly 1000 children from all those families have not been to school till now. We have to do something to show them how precious education is . Even many children from that village also have not been to school till now(1 primary school and 1 high school till 8th Std. are located in that village).

First we have to create awareness in them about education........ only then any of our plans will work.....

U can share ideaz here itself.....
otherwise in orkut community : NSS - PRERNA 2007-08
