INDOOR PLANT CULTURE DISPLAY- 01-02-2012

 INDOOR PLANT CULTURE DISPLAY( 01-02-2012)

         Cultivating plants inside the home is both a popular hobby and an interior decorating technique A houseplant is simply an outdoor plant which has been planted in a pot and cultivated indoors. Not all plants are suitable for indoor culture. Some require environmental conditions that are impossible to duplicate indoors.                                                                                
            Others are adaptable to indoor culture where their minimum growth needs can be provided for. The key to successful indoor plant culture is to select plants which are adaptable to the conditions of your home.

Principal at the Plan

              The III B. Sc Botany students exhibited 40 models in Horticulture in front of the College main gate in order to give awareness to the students regarding the need and importance of indoor plant culture.  The students explained  how to create the Bonsai, Hanging garden, Kitchen garden, Terrarium and Hydroponics and the use of all these models.

WORLD DIFFERENTLY –ABLED DAY, 03- Dec-2011

                    WORLD DIFFERENTLY –ABLED DAY (03-12-12)

      A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit, recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities." William Arthur Ward.

          Disability is the Inability to see Ability". 

           Today is World Differently-abled Day.

                   On the eve of the World Differently –Abled day  on 3^rd December-2011, the Dept of Botany conducted an educational awareness program near Ramavarapadu ring. As a rally students moved on the roads educating the people on different aspects pertaining to physically challenged  their difficulties and the available means through which they could overcome them . 
               
        "If there was any disability then it was only the bad attitude"  many opportunities and ways are broadened today for  differently abled people only thing is that they need to move towards them.

According to the recent global survey, one in every four women experience domestic violence, abuse or discrimination and the figure doubles in case of disabled women. Call it emotional insecurity or economical backwardness or dependency or helplessness or a combination of all, disabled women are invariably becoming more prone to sexual abuse and discrimination at home or at work and are worst hit in terms of physical violence, say psychologists. They say that most of their issues remain unheard due to lack of legal awareness and clarity on their rights other than suffering from isolation and the fear factor.

Who are differently abled  persons?

As per the provisions of the Persons with Disability (PWD) Act 1995 it means:-

1.      Blindness
2.      Low vision
3.      Leprosy cured
4.      Hearing impairment
5.      Locomotor disability
6.      Mental retardation and
7.      Mental illness

Disabled people do not have much access to the outside world, says founder of Global Aid Saipadma who provides training for the differently-abled people on mobility, accessibility, employ ability and sustainability. “It is sad to note that these people get into a lot of negative thinking. If they divert this energy to something productive, it would help them in the long run. Above all, they should be treated with empathy than sympathy and should be allowed to open up, mingle with others and get an access to informal gatherings. They should be able to build their own friends’ circle than just contacts,” she says.

World AIDS Day, observed on 1st December every year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. Government and health officials observe the day, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics. Since 1995, the President of the United States has made an official proclamation on World AIDS Day. Governments of other nations have followed suit and issued similar announcements.         

From its inception until 2004, UNAIDS spearheaded the World AIDS Day campaign, choosing annual themes in consultation with other global health organizations.

As of 2008, each year's World AIDS Day theme is chosen by the World AIDS Campaign's Global Steering Committee after extensive consultation with people, organizations and government agencies involved in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.  For each World AIDS Day from 2005 through 2010, the theme was "Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise." with a yearly sub-theme. This overarching theme is designed to encourage political leaders to keep their commitment to achieve universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care, and support by the year 2010.

This theme is not specific to World AIDS Day, but is used year-round in WAC's efforts to highlight HIV/AIDS awareness within the context of other major global events including the G8 Summit. World AIDS Campaign also conducts "in-country" campaigns throughout the world, like the Student Stop AIDS Campaign, an infection-awareness campaign targeting young people throughout the UK.
