Eco Club is a working group that actively promotes the involvement of students in learning about their environment and its importance. The idea behind the Eco Club is to raise awareness among people, especially students, about environmental issues and to organize activities that help them learn to deal with environmental changes and take action for improvement. For teachers, it offers a platform to engage students beyond classroom boundaries with real-world environmental challenges.
East Calcutta Girls’ College established the Eco Club named ‘Dream Green’, where a group of individuals work together to improve environmental conditions and offer programs that encourage others to spread awareness on issues like pollution reduction, tree plantation, and biodiversity conservation.
The primary objectives of the club are to motivate students to conserve natural resources, promote a sustainable and eco-friendly environment, and create awareness about biodiversity and local environmental concerns. The club fosters a clean and green consciousness among the students.
The ‘Dream Green’ Eco Club conducts regular tree plantation drives within the college campus. It also organizes awareness programs on pressing environmental problems, promotes eco-friendly practices such as mushroom cultivation, and runs initiatives like the ‘Squirrel Feeding Program’ to spread awareness about animal conservation.
Members of the club participate in nature study programs, visiting various regions to explore flora and fauna, thereby deepening their understanding of biodiversity. The club also celebrates significant environmental days such as:
These observances aim to create awareness about conservation efforts and inspire students to protect organisms and their habitats. All such activities under the Eco Club offer a valuable opportunity for students to generate awareness, build positive attitudes, and take concrete steps to improve their environment.
