The ecological importance of Karuvarakundu and the role of students in the conservation of the same was the topic on which a seminar was organised by our club. The seminar was inaugurated by the Wild Life Warden(Silent Valley National Park) Sri.S.Shivadasan,I.F.S. Development which is detrimental to the environment will do more harm in the future than good. He told that as an area adjacent to the Silent Valley National Park, Karuvarakundu has a special importance. The heartbreaking memories of the grand old trees cut down for the construction of new building should give internal strength to the students to work for a greener future. He observed that it is sad to note that such anti-environmental activities are taking place when the syllabi asks for a pro-active stand in this issue from the students.
