Dimapur, January 23 (MExN): Showing that they share a responsibility towards nature, security forces have launched a nature club in their bid to bridge the gap between humans and nature. The club launched at Assam Rifles Training Centre and School, Dimapur, was christened Dolong (meaning ‘bridge’) Nature Club on January 19.
After the inauguration, a tour comprising trekking, bird watching, photography and written quiz competition was flagged off from 3rd Mile, Dimapur for Sukhovi Forest by Brig. K Narayanan, Commandant, Assam Rifles Training Centre and School. 84 students along with 8 teachers of Assam Rifles High School and 25 personnel of Assam Rifles took part in the tour. The tour concluded with a written quiz competition and prizes were awarded to top three winners.
The club will function as a bridge between the nature and families of the Assam Rifles, and plans to conduct various activities for the children of Assam Rifles personnel to develop an interest towards wild life studies and bird watching. The club is also looking forward to expand the area of visit in the next tour and with expert’s guidance.
