In many countries, Teachers' Day is a
special day for the appreciation of
teachers , and may inc lude
celebrations to honour them for
their special contributions in a
particular field of knowledge, or the
community in general. In India, the
birth date of the second President of
India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan,
5 September 1888, is celebrated as
Teacher's Day since 1962. In our
Institute too the Teachers Day is
celebrated with full enthusiasm by
all, i.e., students, teachers and
management. Practically every class
arranges a cultural programme in the
fore noon to honour their teachers,
while management honours and
rewards the outstanding teachers in
the a.n.

Insight 5July - September, 2016
Since the dawn of civilization man has a close
relation with nature which helps us in many ways.
Similarly trees are closely related to our life. They
are our true friends and play an important role in
our life and economy. It is therefore but natural
that trees in Indian mythology and folklore bear
spiritual importance. The Vedas, Puranas and
Epics carry special reference on the mythological trees; as a result
the trees are worshipped across India along with the deities even in
the recent times.
In our country tree planting programme is celebrated as a festival
and is known as 'Van Mahotsava'. It is an annual event during
which millions of trees are planted all over India by large
number of organizations including school and colleges. It was
initiated in 1950 by Late Shri K. M. Munshi, the then Union
Minister for Agriculture and Food, to create an awareness and
enthusiasm among the populace. The aim behind this festival
was the conservation of forests by planting of saplings. It is
indirectly an afforestation progamme. This year it is the 67th Van
Mahotsava.
People celebrate Van Mahotsava by planting trees or saplings in
homes, offices, schools, colleges, etc. Awareness campaigns are
held at various levels. Novel promotions like free distribution of
trees are also under taken by various organizations and volunteers.
Generally, native trees are planted as they readily adapt to the local
conditions, integrate into eco-systems and have a high survival rate.
Besides, such trees are helpful in supporting local birds, insects and
animals as well.
The planting of trees during the festival serves various purposes like
increase production of food resources, helps create shelter-belts
around fields to increase productivity, provide food for cattle, offers
shade and decorative landscapes, helps conserves soil
deterioration, etc. The festival spreads the awareness about the
importance of trees among people and portrays the need of planting
and tending of trees, as trees are one of the best ways to prevent
global warming and reduce pollution.
Awareness campaigns are held all over the country and various
drives by NGO's are organized to help people participate in the
process of planting trees. This practice takes place every year and
helps conserve the greenery of our country. The conservation of
nature has become a very important part of our life due the
acceleration in industrialization, conservation of forests has
become a point of major concern. Planting of trees also helps to
avoid soil erosion which may cause floods, trees also help in
reducing pollution as they make the air cleaner.
In its original objective, every citizen of India is expected to plant a
sapling during the Van Mahotsav. Also, awareness campaigns about
benefits and protection of trees and the harm caused by cutting
down of trees are held. It is actually is a festival of life.
The 'Van Mahotsav' festival of trees is a beautiful initiative to save
the environment, to which we owe a lot. Let us join hands and save
mother earth by making our small contribution by planting a tree.
It has been well said that:
To have a good sceneryThere should be enough greenery.
Jai Hind

Since the dawn of civilization man has a close
relation with nature which helps us in many ways.
Similarly trees are closely related to our life. They
are our true friends and play an important role in
our life and economy. It is therefore but natural
that trees in Indian mythology and folklore bear
spiritual importance. The Vedas, Puranas and
Epics carry special reference on the mythological trees; as a result
the trees are worshipped across India along with the deities even in
the recent times.
In our country tree planting programme is celebrated as a festival
and is known as 'Van Mahotsava'. It is an annual event during
which millions of trees are planted all over India by large
number of organizations including school and colleges. It was
initiated in 1950 by Late Shri K. M. Munshi, the then Union
Minister for Agriculture and Food, to create an awareness and
enthusiasm among the populace. The aim behind this festival
was the conservation of forests by planting of saplings. It is
indirectly an afforestation progamme. This year it is the 67th Van
Mahotsava.
People celebrate Van Mahotsava by planting trees or saplings in
homes, offices, schools, colleges, etc. Awareness campaigns are
held at various levels. Novel promotions like free distribution of
trees are also under taken by various organizations and volunteers.
Generally, native trees are planted as they readily adapt to the local
conditions, integrate into eco-systems and have a high survival rate.
Besides, such trees are helpful in supporting local birds, insects and
animals as well.
The planting of trees during the festival serves various purposes like
increase production of food resources, helps create shelter-belts
around fields to increase productivity, provide food for cattle, offers
shade and decorative landscapes, helps conserves soil
deterioration, etc. The festival spreads the awareness about the
importance of trees among people and portrays the need of planting
and tending of trees, as trees are one of the best ways to prevent
global warming and reduce pollution.
Awareness campaigns are held all over the country and various
drives by NGO's are organized to help people participate in the
process of planting trees. This practice takes place every year and
helps conserve the greenery of our country. The conservation of
nature has become a very important part of our life due the
acceleration in industrialization, conservation of forests has
become a point of major concern. Planting of trees also helps to
avoid soil erosion which may cause floods, trees also help in
reducing pollution as they make the air cleaner.
In its original objective, every citizen of India is expected to plant a
sapling during the Van Mahotsav. Also, awareness campaigns about
benefits and protection of trees and the harm caused by cutting
down of trees are held. It is actually is a festival of life.
The 'Van Mahotsav' festival of trees is a beautiful initiative to save
the environment, to which we owe a lot. Let us join hands and save
mother earth by making our small contribution by planting a tree.
It has been well said that:
To have a good sceneryThere should be enough greenery.
Jai Hind

Himalayas have been soul of the
country by virtue of cultural, ethnic,
ecological and economical values. It
has not been guarding country's
border only but constantly serving its
human by enriching soil, air, water
etc. Unfortunately importance of
H i m a l a y a s w a s a l w a y s
underestimated for its integral role
in overall development of the
Nation. Deterioration of Himalayan
system due to inadequate attention
has threatened our Life Supporting
Resources. Status of forest, water, air
soil has become alarmingly grim.
There are two facts that need to be
seriously brought to cognizance.
Life can not sustain without natural
resources and Himalaya is the major
donor of the same. Since Himalayan
health largely decides climate,
economy and ecology of the nation,
substantial attention to its native
biodiversity become equally
important as latter shape its ecology
and environment.

An initiative that was started in 2010
by a group of noted environment-
alists and activists including Sunder
Lal Bahuguna, Anil Joshi and Radha
Behan, Himalayan Day is celebrated
to spread the message that solutions
for sustainable development and
ecological stability for the Himalayas
must be as unique as the Himalayan
ecosystem itself.
Biodiversity Himalayan Day or
Himalaya Divas was celebrated for
the fourth year in a row on September
th9 this year in Dolphin Institute too.
The occasion also served as a platform
for discussion on the major
challenges facing the Himalayas –
increasing population, rampant
urbanisation, unchecked defores-
tation, melting of glaciers and other
such ecological disruptions are
rapidly triggering disasters of the
kind that occurred in Kedarnath. An
oath was administered to all the
participating students and faculty to
protect the Himalaya's environment
and biodiversity.

s i m p l i c i s s i m u m a n d
Penicillium chrysogenum are
being used by researchers to
develop an environment-

extracting cobalt and lithium
from waste batteries. The
process involves using the organic
acids generated by fungi to leach out
meta l s f rom the ba t te r ie s .
Reportedly, 85% and 48% of lithium

extracted from cathodes of spent

World's First Leprosy Vaccine Developed in India
GP Talwar, the first Director of the

has developed the world's first
leprosy vaccine. A pilot run of the
indigenous vaccine wi l l be

in 2018 as stated by Uttarakhand
Sports Secretary Shailash Bagauli.
Monal, also the national bird of
Nepal, is a shy bird found between
8,000 and 15,000 feet in high
Himalayan reaches. It comes with
nine colours and a feather cap and is
termed the peacock of the
Himalayas.
The bird's natural range extends
from eastern Afghanistan through

areas, the species is
threatened due to
poaching and other
anthropogenic factors. In a recent
s tudy, the local populat ion
responded negatively to human
disturbance involving hydroelectric
power development. The main
threat to the species is poaching, as
the crest is valuable here, as well. It is
thought to bring status to its wearer,
and is a symbol of authority.
Before proposing the Monal as the
mascot for the 38th National
Games, the Sports Department had
conducted a survey between
Monal and Musk deer for the
purpose and Monal had polled the
highest votes.

Technology researchers, including
one of Indian origin, have
developed a new handheld device
that can detect whether a fruit is
ripe. The device contains a
spectrometer that shines ultraviolet
light on the fruit's skin to measure
the ' g low ' o f the p igment
chlorophyll, which correlates with
the fruit's ripeness. The device then
relays data to an Android app via
Bluetooth to compute the degree of
ripeness. Such a gadget could make
a big di f ference for apple
distributors, who sometimes have to
guess when deciding where to send
their stock. Testing ripeness could
also help farmers decide the best

graphene, which can feature
propert ies beyond those of
conventional atoms. The 'artificial'
atoms have electrons which can
occupy discrete energy levels and
