“When we see Mother Nature as the embodiment of God, we will automatically serve and protect her.”
Nature is an indispensable part of human. It has its own stories to tell and emotions to express. From a tiny insect to the largest animal on earth, each life has its role to sustain this ecosystem and co – exist with each other.
As a part of Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav and Mission Life, the nature club of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and EIACP RP at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is organizing a cleanliness drive and a film screening of the Oscar award winning film ” The Elephant Whisperers” along with an award ceremony.
