Educational
institutions often possess unused land that can be transformed into valuable
green spaces to address environmental challenges. This paper focuses on an
initiative at Neelam Taram Government College, Yachuli (NTGCY), which aimed to
rejuvenate unused land into a mixed garden of fruits and flowers. Supported by
the principal and the Head of the English Department, the programme integrated
practical plantation activities with theoretical environmental education.
Adopting a qualitative, participatory action research design, the initiative
engaged students and faculty in planning, implementing, and maintaining the
garden. Activities included selecting plant varieties, constructing bamboo
fences, and screening documentaries on environmentalists Jadav Payeng and Swami
Prem Parivartan to inspire conservation efforts.
