World environment day
Abhaya – Womens’ Forum of St Agnes PU College celebrated World Environment
Day on 6 June, 2024.
Mr Praveen, Senior Assistant Director, Department of Horticulture, Mangalore
Taluk was invited as the resource person. Mr Praveen highlighted the importance
of Organic Farming and gave pointers on how to improve the fertility of soil.
Modernization, burgeoning population and rampant use of plastics has led to a
decline in quality of the soil. Vermicompost contains nutrients and microorganisms
that enrich the soil and is excellent for organic farming.
The Principal Sr Norine Dsouza, faculty and the Convenor of Abhaya Dr Tressie
Menezes were present for the programme.
Ms Fathima Rawha compered, welcomed and rendered the vote of thanks
smoothly.
