Environmental Cell
Motto: Clean SFS; Green SFS
Nature lover’s of SFS College set up an Environment cell in the year 2000. The club aims at inculcating values for preserving the fragile planet and ecosystem. There was a dire need of an association in the name of ‘Environment cell’ in SFS college, as each one of us recognized our role in preserving our fragile planet and eco-system. We realized that we are slowly poisoning our world. Thoughtlessly we are destroying the beauty of our surroundings. Pollution brings about the adverse changes in the atmosphere. Man, and not nature is responsible for this phenomenon. Fresh air and pure water have become rare commodities. It is no wonder that people suffer from new and strange ailments which defy the skills of even the best of doctors. This problem should be skillfully handled, though it is a Herculean task. If men are to lead a happy and serene life, the young generation have to be made aware of the gravity of the problem. Thus giving us a humble beginning to this Herculean task, some of the nature loving members of the staff under the able guidance of Rev.Fr. Anthony D`souza principal of SFS college set up the Environment cell.
