World Environment Day: USTM for Organic Farming

 9 th Mile, Khanapara, Ri Bhoi, June 7, 2023: The Physics and Computer Science Departments

of USTM hosted an outreach program called “Empowering Villages through Organic Farming”

at the Community Hall and Holy Heart School in Upper Jorbill to mark World Environment Day

2023. 

The program drew local villagers, students, and faculty members who participated with

enthusiasm.

The program’s objective was to educate and inspire local communities about organic farming

and its advantages for food security and environmental protection. The main attraction of the

event was the planting and distribution of saplings to encourage afforestation and green practices

in the region.

 Participants demonstrated their commitment to a healthier and better future by

joining in the activity. The saplings were chosen to suit the local climate and ecosystems,

ensuring their growth and long-term impact.

More than 25 students from both departments participated in this outreach program along with

the faculty members. Through this program, the organizers are trying to create a lasting effect on

the lives of the villagers and support a greener and more sustainable future for all.
