The Natural Science Association (NSA) of SJC has made conservation of wildlife as one of their goals. This association was started three years ago and its activities include conducting various programmes about wildlife via mediums such as talks, visual quizzes, seminars, presentations, etc.
In the recent past, the association has held a talk on H1N1 by a renowned doctor from the Apollo hospital, Dr Suhana. This activity basically aimed at creating awareness among students of the grave consequences of the disease.
The annual programme conducted by the members of the NSA is “Paws and Claws”, which is a pet show organised to judge various abilities of pets. The criterion for judging includes ‘best maintained’, ‘most bubbly’ and ‘most disciplined’, among other things. There is an assortment of goody bags provided by various sponsors to the prize winners each year. “The event which has been open to all students of this college will now be an inter-collegiate event,” said Rachna Patwardhan of III CBZ, the President of NSA.
Upcoming events by the NSA include what will be known as the Conservation Week, held in the first week of October, which will concentrate on creating awareness on the critically endangered animals of today.
“There has been a lot more awareness in College because of the NSA. While our main objective is to focus completely on wild animals, we also aim at creating a strong bond between humans and animals in the near future,” said Rachna.
