Conservation work


































On June 20, Niranjan led 6 children from Turia village on a nature trail in the jungle adjoining the village. On the trail, Niranjan identified various species of local flora and fauna and explained the need for conservation to the children. A similar trail was organized for 7 more children of Aamajhari on June 22.



























On June 23 Niranjan led a team of 7 children from Aamajhari in a programme to clean a water body for domestic cattle on the outskirts of the village. The water body had become clogged with litter and a layer of scum covered the water. The team cleaned up the water body and made it fit for use by animals to drink from. It is mainly used by domestic livestock and occasionally by wildlife at night. A similar programme was organised at Turia on June 25.
