Students from the Department of Zoology, Sree Sankara College, Kalady, had an enriching learning experience through nature during the "Enjoy Learning" one-day sensitization session at TIES.

Dr. Punnen Kurian, Secretary of TIES, led the opening session, emphasizing the importance of biodiversity conservation, challenges in protecting ecosystems, and the need for preservation. He also introduced eco-friendly construction to expand students’ knowledge of green architecture.

Afterward, students participated in a campus walk exploring eco-friendly architecture, sustainable practices, and household waste management techniques, along with a basic introduction to water quality analysis, promoting responsible environmental stewardship.
