KARIMNAGAR, MARCH 20, 2025: World Sparrow Day was celebrated with great zeal at SRR Government Arts and Science College in Karimnagar town on Thursday.
Principal K Ramakrishna chose to celebrate the day as a step towards awareness of nature and said everyone has some kind of special bond with nature since childhood and it should be cherished in today’s materialistic life. He said that the programme was organised to appreciate the beauty of nature and to raise awareness about sparrows and other common birds affected by the environment, which are on the verge of extinction.
The resource person was Zoology department head A Jyothi Laxmio, who discussed how due to our materialistic life we forget nature, adding that in our childhood we used to wake up by melodious chirping of sparrows, but these things were memories now. Because of huge towering buildings, birds and animals get disturbed.
On this occasion with the support of alumnus T Preethi, a nature lover, the college students had arranged 100 feeders and water bowls on the sprawling college campus to protect birds. Assistant Professors K Surender Reddy, K Kiranmayi, D Ravinder Rao, E Samatha and others educated about the protection of the house sparrow and other such birds so that people admire the beauty of biodiversity and nature.
