In order to celebrate EARTH DAY 2025 , Department of Public Health Dentistry took a meaningful step towards promoting campus biodiversity and ecological awareness by installing two bird feeder systems. This initiative not only enhances the natural environment but also educate the campus community on the importance of coexisting with local wildlife.
Objective of the Bird feeder system: The installation was done in order to attract and support local bird species by providing a consistent food and water source and also to create opportunities for student engagement in wildlife observation and environmental stewardship. The students, interns, faculty members from the department participated in the installation process. Students from the department assisted with assembling, placing, and filling the feeders. In the follow up plan, feeders will be maintained weekly by student volunteers. A social media awareness campaign was conducted to educate, engage and motivate the public on current environmental issues. Short videos on eco friendly practices were created highlighting Earth Day messages and eco friendly tips.
It significantly contributed to the success of Earth Day celebration by engaging a wide audience and spreading impactful environmental messages.
