Nature Club

Motto: Nurture Nature for Better Future

Nature offers the basic needs for humans to live – food, air, and water. Survival of mankind without nature is impossible and humans need to understand that. Enjoy nature without disturbing its ecological balance. We should care for our nature, make it peaceful, keep it clean and prevent it from destruction.

To empower and educate students about the importance of environmental conservation and to create awareness about major environmental problems, a Nature Club was formed and inaugurated on February 23, 2023 in presence of Tata Consultancy Services P4L Team and other dignitaries.
