Students of the Government Degree Arts College took part in on-the-spot clay Ganesha-making competition on Tuesday, ahead of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Members of the Eco Club at the college collected ‘patri’, made charts and wrote the medicinal property of each leaf and its uses and displayed them on the wall of the Drama Hall on the campus.
College Principal Diwakar Reddy appreciated the effort put in by the students and presented ₹516 to the winner, M. Manoj Kumar, a Biotechnology student, ₹316 to K. Shivakeshava (second prize), also a Biotech student, and ₹216 to the third prize winner M. Parvathi, an M.Sc. Botany II Year student.
Other participants too were given ₹100 each by the Eco Club as encouragement.
Botany Department Head E. Sridevi said bringing awareness among students will help protect the environment and stop the use of Plaster of Paris or plastics.
No room for complacency till counting is completed, Chandrababu Naidu tells TDP-BJP-JSP contestants. The TDP-BJP-JSP alliance will register a comfortable victory in the general elections over the YSRCP, he says. Alleging that the YSRCP has conspired to create disturbances on the counting day, the TDP national president advises the chief counting agents and their teams to see to it that the officials adhere to norms related to counting.
