Covid 19 pandemic has locked us in our homes. This has changed our life as well as the nature. Nature was suffering from the deeds of humankind, mainly due to pollution. The beauty of the earth was totally distorted by over consumption of various natural resources. If one looks toward nature, we will see that it is properly balanced. Everything is perfect in its own place. It is we, human beings with our urge to progress, have spoilt the balance of the nature. This pandemic is a lesson taught by the nature that if we are not conscious, a day will come when human beings will become endangered!

 The day has come to make us realize and understand that this pandemic is the curtain raiser to all the other mishaps that are about to come. Today if we see the environment around us, it is clean and green. Rajkumar College is the lungs of Raipur and this pandemic has made the place the purest. This year we had many visitors. The fabulous migratory birds like varieties of finch, ducks, hornbills, bird of paradise etc. Many different species of flowers have made the campus colourful. The trees have added different shades of green to the enchanted beauty. This beauty has given a ray of hope that everything will be fine and we will be back to our normal life with some rules and precautions

It is my appeal to all my students to maintain this beauty of our environment even after the hard days of the pandemic. We can easily do this by being a bit conscious while using the facilities provided by the environment.

 Let us all take the oath “Non Nascor Mihi Solum” which means ‘Live not for self alone’!
