Post Graduate department of zoology of DAV College Chandigarh in collaboration with NSS unit, organised a webinar on the theme ‘Ecosystem Restoration’on 5th June 2021, i.e. World Environment Day, to highlight the vital role of individuals in restoring and renewing the deteriorated ecosystems. The webinar witnessed a mass presence of over 500 people.

Dr. Pawan Sharma exhorted on the ideals of anthropogenic and egocentric practices that man resorts to. He pointed out that mere thoughts couldn’t change the reality, but radical actions were needed for the betterment.
Dr. Parvinder Singh enlightened the gathering with the fact that the imbalance of the nature within humans caused them to let their greed over rule them. He further added that the greed with which we defined our actions, ended up bringing calamity to the environment.
Dr. Suman Kapoor, NSS Programming Officer DAVC, introduced the key note speaker of the day, Dr. Simerjit Kaur Shergill, Head, Dept. of Life Sciences, Rayat Bahra University, Mohali.
