Venue: Srijan Hall
No. of Participants: Students : 57 , Faculty : 25
Objective of the Event: The installation of clime clock was done with an objective to create

Description: On World Environment Day, IIC Council and the Department of Environmental
Science installed a Climate Clock in Srijan Hall of the main block of the University campus.
The clock has been installed permanently and have been visited by hundreds of students and
teachers since then. Specifically on the World Environment Day , the clock was visited by
around 57 students and 25 teachers. This year's theme for World Environment Day, in response
to the rapid degradation of biodiversity, is "Land Restoration: Stopping Desertification and
Building Drought Resilience." This global climate change, driven by unsustainable development
is the primary cause of concern. The pace of destruction is very rapid which is quite evident from
the unusual weather phenomenon and habitat destruction is leading in rapid decline in
biodiversity.
The Climate Clock aims to raise awareness about the urgent need for action. The clock, which
indicates the time left to prevent further environmental degradation, was assembled by
postgraduate students of Environmental Science with technical support from the Swaraj Energy
Foundation.
Outcome of the Activity: The Climate Clock installed at the University campus raises
awareness among students about the rapid degradation of environmental components
contributing to global climate change.
