Nature reflects our nature
Message from the Head of the Department
We live in an environment that reflects our own actions. Having entered the
new geological age of Anthropocene, our relation with the environment is of
paramount interest to everyone on Earth. Our generation has witnessed some
significant responses from the environment to our activities such as climate
change and loss of biodiversity. Science has overwhelmingly established the fact
that the human-induced catastrophes have increased in a rapid pace. It not only
forebodes of an unbalanced Earth system but also challenges our generation to
ensure a sustainable environment for posterity. Hence, to dwell upon and reflect
on the influence of the human activities on the environment, Nature and Social
Concern Society (NSCS), one of our departmental clubs, is bringing this Prat-
ibimba magazine with great enthusiasm. I am confident that this endeavor will
bear its fruits in the form of more vigilant people and the society. I also expect
that this publication will enhance our quest for sustainable development with a
solid understanding of its scientific bases. Hence, I wholeheartedly congratulate
the team of Pratibimba for this praiseworthy effort.
Warm regards,
