Posted on 23/08/2025
On 22 August, a two-day workshop on the topic "Trash to Treasure" was organized under the joint aegis of the Department of Botany and Nature Interpretation Centre at Government Women's College, Rohtak under the "Environment Awareness Long Day Bazaar" program. Around 50 girl students participated in the workshop and gained practical knowledge related to environmental protection. The faculty members of the Department of Botany accepted this workshop as a creative challenge and created an active and inspiring learning environment by encouraging innovation, creativity and the spirit of ‘learning by doing’ among the students. They taught the girl students to make planters, pen stands, and home decor items from plastic bottles, glass jars, boxes, etc. lying unused at home. The main trainer of the workshop was Mrs. Sonia. On this occasion, Principal Mr. Shamsher Singh Hooda addressed the students and said, “Today, plastic waste has become a huge problem. If we use the waste in our homes through reuse and recycling, we can play a big role in keeping the environment clean. Such programmes inspire the youth to become aware and responsible citizens.” The Principal encouraged the students to make creative use of waste in their daily lives and to strive towards 'Zero Waste'. Many professors including Dr. Meenu Nain, Dr. Jyoti, Dr. Veena Sachdeva, Dr. Ritu Hooda, Dr. Renu Budhwar, Dr. Savita and Dr. Nidhi were present in this event. Appreciating the creativity of the students, everyone said that such workshops are not only a means of teaching but also inculcate a sense of social responsibility. The workshop concluded with an exhibition of the items prepared by the students, which was appreciated by everyone. The Trash to Treasure workshop turned out to be an inspiring example of how small habits can contribute to environmental protection on a large scale.
