Abstract

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.

The programme developed environmental responsibility and encouraged students to adopt sustainable practices, such as recycling tetra milk packets for Peepal Baba’s mission. The project outcomes included the successful plantation and protecting of saplings, which enhanced understanding of environment.
