With changing times fathers are also displaying their emotions towards their children more than ever before and the emotional connect is certainly more pronounced. While celebrating Father’s Day what better way than spending a ‘father-child’ day surrounded by Nature?! Udgam Pro Activity Club had organised a unique outdoor session “Explore the Environment” on this Father’s day for father and child of Class V. We organised a program at Serenity Library and Botanical Garden, situated near Koteshwar village. Spread over 40,000 sq. mtrs., the nature park has a lot to offer in terms of variety and greenery. An eminentNaturalist, Mr. Haseeb Shaikh, shared his impressive knowledge with us throughout the session. He took us to the butterfly patch, botanical garden, organic farm and pond area. There were many kinds of indigenous and exotic plants. We understood and appreciated the benefit of each plant to our environment. While walking we came across a wide variety of species of birds and creatures. Students were eagerly writing down all valuable information to share the knowledge with their friends and family. We educated around 100 children and fathers about the rich natural heritage and created awareness in what can be done as an individual to save our environment. Overall it was a unique effort to bond among nature and a perfect Father’s Day!
