Higher Secondary (HS) first-year students of Dadara Higher Secondary in Dadara were determined to take the environment seriously after environmentalist Purnima Devi Barman conducted a class on environmental projects at the college.

The Green Oscar winner conducted a theory and field study class of 60 students at the college on Friday.

Barman discussed the preparation of environmental projects with the students at length.

“We are indeed very grateful to Purnima baideo for the guidance and knowledge. We were taught how to study the greater adjutant stork in its natural habitat. We are determined to do the projects seriously,” a student said.

“I got to know many things regarding the environment. I am also more aware of many things,” another student said.

“This is a part of my environment classes that I conduct at the college. I have tried to motivate them regarding the serious handling of environmental projects, along with other projects. The recent class was on the study of birds. We went for a stroll underneath the trees to look out for greater adjutant storks,” Barman said.

“I have taught them the ways of making an environmental project. They were taught to add features like introduction, aim, methodology, discussion and resulting a project. Moreover, the students should not see the environment subject as form of garnering marks but beyond that. I have urged the students to be nature’s own army and be aware of the environment’s contributions and how to give it back to nature. Along with classes on projects I take them on exposure tours to many places,” she added.
