In the first session, students of the college shared their views through PowerPoint presentations, oral presentations and by reciting poems on the various impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic on Environment.
One of the students beautifully explained the various positive impacts on our rivers and streams, significant improvement in air quality in different cities across the world, reduction in GHGs emission, reduction in noise pollution and pressure on the tourist destination which may assist with the restoration of the ecological ecosystem while others explained negative impacts due to the increase of medical waste, haphazard use and disposal of disinfectants, mask, gloves and burden of untreated waste which is continuously endangering the environment.

The Principal of the College, Prof. (Dr.) Sangeeta Sudan, shared her views and suggested possible ways to achieve long-term environmental benefit, as proper implementation of the proposed strategies might be helpful for the global environmental sustainability.
