December 10, 2025, turned out to be one of the most inspiring days of our academic year as we gathered in Serna Hall for the much-awaited Nature Club inauguration. The event, which began at 10 AM, brought together students, Nature Club members, the union management, and our batchmates—all united by a shared love for nature.
The program opened with a soulful prayer song, followed by a heartfelt welcome speech. The presidential address set the tone for the day, highlighting the importance of creating environmental awareness within and beyond the campus.
Our club advisor, Dr. Praveena ma'am, then delivered a thoughtful message, sharing a personal experience involving a snake incident that affected her deeply. She spoke honestly about the trauma it caused and her ongoing journey of overcoming her fear—an experience that connected beautifully with the theme of the day.
The event’s momentum grew with the arrival of our chief guest, Roj Vavasuresh, a well-known snake master. Before the formal inauguration, a symbolic planting of a sapling took place in the college garden—marking the beginning of a greener chapter for our campus.
In his inaugural address, the union chairman emphasized the importance of Nature Clubs in schools and colleges, especially for teacher trainees who must learn to coordinate and run such clubs in the future.This was followed by an engaging and eye-opening interactive session with the chief guest.
He spoke about: how to identify snakes, what to do in case of a snake bites, first aids to be given, his personal journey of becoming a snake master. One of the most striking parts of his talk was his explanation on snake venom—how it is not only dangerous but also highly medicinal, even being used in treatments such as cancer therapy. He reminded us that snakes do not attack unless provoked and that humans and snakes can coexist peacefully by respecting each other's space.
Students also participated actively, asking questions and clearing their doubts. The chief guest appreciated our curiosity and engagement, leaving the session on a very positive note.
After the official function, from 2:00 to 2:45 PM, the Nature Club members and students took part in a campus beautification by planting trees, removing weeds.The activity filled the campus with fresh energy, positivity, and a true sense of collective responsibility.
