“Healthier Land Through Community Engagement”

BSACIST is actively committed to sustaining terrestrial ecosystems by promoting sustainable forest management, countering desertification, and halting land degradation and biodiversity loss. The institute supports a range of programs to boost land health and environmental stewardship. A hallmark initiative was the World Environment Day tree plantation drive organized by the National Service Scheme (NSS), in which faculty, staff, and students planted over 100 saplings on campus. The Vice-Chancellor underscored the value of biodiversity and encouraged sustainable practices, including reducing plastic use and conserving resources. This effort not only aided afforestation but also fostered a sense of responsibility among participants. Beyond planting, BSACIST has pursued community outreach and education on sustainable agriculture. NSS volunteers assisted Organic Farm, learning about organic farming and aiding fieldwork, thereby benefiting farmers and imparting hands-on ecological knowledge to students. Collectively, these activities reflect the institute’s proactive stance on sustainability through tree planting, community involvement, and educational experiences, cultivating environmental awareness and action for the preservation of land ecosystems for future generations.
