An awareness camp about environment with the basic theme of " Dangers of Polythene" and a family get-together was organised by Bhoomi at Village Mehngrowal, District Hoshiarpur , Punjab on 11th Dec. 2011.
Mehngrowal is a sleepy hamlet located in the semi hilly area bordering Himachal Pardesh in the foot hills of Shivalik Range of Hills.There is a earthen dam named Damsal Dam built to harness the water of seasonal rivulets of Shivaliks for irrigation purposes. This was the place where camping was done in the morning and Children participated in painting competition and their parents un-winded themselves . Children were taken for a tour of the dam under the guidance of Sh Manoj Kumar and Sh Pankaj Sharma and they understood the working of the dam , its advantages and its impact upon the environment and the agriculture of the area. They also carried out cleanliness drive in the surroundings .Then the party moved to the Mehngrowal Rest House located near by and a seminar on the "Dangers of Polythene" was held . Children enthusiastically participated in it and enlightened us about the adverse impacts of the Polythene. Surabhi, Lakshit , Akhilesh , Aashu, Adhishwar, Vasundhra, Vendatika, Ishaan , Tamisha participated in the seminar. Mr Manoj Sharma Secretary conducted the proceedings. The camp concluded with everyone pledging to work for protecting our environment and enrich our Earth. Mr and Mrs.Lokesh Chowbey and Mr. & Mrs. Neeraj Jain were the welcome Guests and they thoroughly enjoyed the proceedings . I hope every member will cherish the sweet memories of this educational entertainment for long
