The morning of 31 August witnessed a
large number of young environmentalists who came together to debate and find
feasible solutions on topics like Bio Diversity, Bio Medicine, Water
Management, Energy and Technology. The conference Faunus was an initiative of
some students from Oakridge International School Newton campus aimed at
combating the impending environmental crisis. The committee sessions involved
brainstorming sessions in order to architect a plan for a solution, such as a
prototype of a product, a marketing idea, a scheme or any other work that would
help the environment.
The Chief Guest on the occasion of the
opening ceremony of the conference was Mr. K S Venkatagiri one of the key
senior members of CII-GBC who spoke on the concept of ‘Green schools’. The
conference ended with a delegate dance organized for the students who enjoyed
the music after the day long debating sessions.
Some reflections by students……
Vedasri Ketha : It was a good
opportunity and helped me gain confidence. Everyone was given an opportunity to
speak and that was appreciated.
Neha Lingareddy: I really enjoyed Faunus
2013. It was a very enriching experience... I will definitely register for next
year.
Aditya Shivam (Delhi Public School) : Faunus was a totally
out of the world experience for me, and I'm sure it also was for most of the
delegates, at least for those of us who were having a first time go at such a committee
conference. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and my heartfelt
congratulations to the entire Faunus management committee. It was an amazing
experience, a truly unforgettable one and we hope to have more such
informative, interesting and mesmerizing sessions in the future. Thank you,
Congratulations and Best Of Luck!
Abhilash Sankaramanchi (FIITJEE) : It
was really knowledgeable. Faunus was a great success.
These reflections only strengthen our
resolve to bring in more such meaningful experiences for the students who are
so motivated in making a difference.
