SEED -
Students for Environment at EDI is a group of students at EDI who believe in
having fun in lap of Mother Nature and learn some lessons of life through
experience.
It conducted
its first event “Aao kuch Toofani karte hai” Its motive was to rejuvenate a
child inside everyone. This event took shape under guidance of Shalabh mittal
sir and with the support of Satya Acharya sir. It was conducted at Aranya Wilderness
Park, near Indroda National Park, Gandhinagar. This event was led by Mr. Madhu Menon Director of Anala Outdoors and environmental activists.

Participants
along with Madhu Menon sir and his team reached the Park at 7:30 A.M. started
their Nature Trail from the gate of the park. We came across Nilgais, the
biggest antelope found in Asia and groups of peafowls, Males as well as
Females. Males on display to attract females were also spotted during Nature
Trail. After the Trail everyone had a talk with Madhu Menon sir about relation
of humans with nature and how almost every invention, every technology is the
product of some or other observation of elements of Nature. We learnt even
after being so advance in all fields some or the other way we are closely
related to Mother Nature.

Then came
breakfast time followed by a walk to the lake where we had a “Playing Games”
session, this was the time we all forgot we were PG students of such a reputed
college EDI and played games like a child. Those innocent days of childhood were
recalled. Near the lake we also spotted and identified few species of birds
like Lapwing (Titodi), water-hen, egret (Baglo), Tailor bird, Cuckoo etc.
Finally we got free time when we visited a Garden in the park known as
“Butterfly valley” and clicked so many photographs. It was a small simple 5
hours event but these 5 hours were enough to de-stress ourselves from our busy
schedule at college. In all it was a simple yet effective way of spending a
weekend morning. Looking forward for
some more such different experiences.
