Environment Club of HMV gave a message of Safe, Healthy and Eco-friendly Holi



Environment Club of Hans Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar gave a message of safe and healthy holi in the times of Corona Virus Spread threat. Under the able guidance of Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs) Ajay Sareen, students prepared organic colours from beetroot, turmeric, spinach, hibiscus and gramflour. The staff and students imprinted the colours on banners with a prayer of safety and health of all the life forms on Earth. While imprinting her colour filled hand on the banner, Principal Dr Sareen also urged upon the students to avoid Mass Gatherings and stay safe during this  "festival of colours" and work upon repairing  broken relationships. Incharge of environment Club, Dr Seema Marwaha said that all festivals should be celebrated in an eco-friendly manner. Dr Anjana Bhatia said that this year we should skip the traditional way of celebrating Holi – one with water balloons, pichkaris and toxic colours that end up taking a huge toll on the environment and health and instead we should focus on spreding positive vibrance using dry flowers or leaves, turmeric, chandan and henna and stay protected. Dr Neelam Sharma, Ms. Urvashi, Ms Harpreet, Dr Sakshhi, Ms Simmi, Mr Ravi, Mr. Ashish, Mr. Rishabh, Mr Rajinder, Amit, Sachin were also present to celebrate the festival marking the onset of spring.
