Hello friends,
Myself Latta Baraiya and I'm a student of English Department, mkbu. In our department we have various twelve committees. One of them is the gardening committee. Me Latta Baraiya and Kishan Jadav are the leaders of the Gardening Committee.
We have arranged a gardening day. On 15th August 1947 India became independent. Every year this day is celebrated as Independence day. On this 75th Independence day, a flag hoisting ceremony was organised in our university (Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University). But to remember this day by doing something different, after the flag hoisting ceremony we have planned to clean our department garden. We have a total of 12 committees in our department. Each committee handles their subject matters. As we became seniors, we started taking our new responsibilities. As part of that me (Latta Baraiya) and Kishan Jadav we are the leaders of the gardening committee. So we arranged a gardening day.
Usually we send a message to our classmates to come to the department and join us in this activity. So first we collect all helping materials from store room like falcate (દાતરડી), brooms (સાવરણો), dustbin obviously 😀 etc.
We divided our work so it can be easy to clean up the garden in less time. Some are doing weed out, some are clearing leafs of trees, and some are catching plastics. By that time we infuse the Geru and lime (ચૂનો) for block colouring. And we did colouring of blocks also. We had lunch. It was delicious. We also took photos.
That activity was not compulsory but an independent choice. But many students came, it was a very memorable day. Here are some glimpses of our today's work,
Gardening Day 2 (7 April 2022)
On 7th April 2022, we have done our second activity of cleaning the garden and coloring blocks. We were planning to clean our garden and plant trees for many days, and finally, we got permission from Dilip Barad sir to do that. We sent a message to all students to come early at 8 AM. Sir was not able to present because of his prior commitments, but Vaidehi Hariyani ma'am and Yesha Bhatt ma'am and many students joined us. Some students worked on cleaning, some were coloring the blocks and some of us have arranged the planting of Neem and Banyan trees. I wish all the upcoming batches will also actively participate in Gardening day.
Memory Tree Plantation (7 April 2022)
We have a tradition of Memory Tree Plantation in our department, in which students plant trees in the department garden as the memory of their batch. Gardening Committee Leaders are supposed to buy plants, geru, and other goods. The soil of the department garden is not fertile, so sir arranged fertile soil for planting. We bought two plants Neem and Banyan. Semester 2 students have planted a Neem tree and semester 4 students have planted a Banyan tree. Then we took a group photo. Here are the details of the amount we have spent.
Total amount = 980
As a leader of the gardening committee I have learnt many things. I never went to buy plants, but as a leader, me and my co-leader Kishan Jadav bought plants and bought other helping goods the day before plantation.
The time that is given to all students for gardening and plantation is 8 AM to 10 AM. But as a leader you have to come early before the given time. You also have to motivate students for work. It may happen, when some may not work and you can't force them. I learnt that,
A good leader is not someone who gives command, but a good leader is someone who works with members.
Overall it was a good experience. I would like to thank Dilip Barad sir for giving us this opportunity. Moreover I'm also thankful to Vaidehi Hariyani ma'am and Yesha Bhatt ma'am for their support, guidance and help. I also want to thank all the students who joined us in this activity. Here are some glimpses of today's event,
