An UGC sponsored seminar on ‘Man and Nature: the East Kolkata Wetland Perspective’
24 - Sept - 2015
The programme was on various aspects of man and nature interactions. Focus was on the East Kolkata Wetland biodiversity, history and functions. As the wetland receives and purifies almost entire sewage of the city, it is one of biggest examples of how nature subsidises man’s existence. Other aspects of nature were shared through a quiz competition.
The programme was organized on 24.09.2015 at South Calcutta Girls’ College, Kolkata and attended by South Calcutta Girls’ College students from the Departments of Economics, Political Science, Journalism and Mass Communication and NEWS team.
