The Environment Sustainability and Management Cell, SBBSU under the supervision of Honorable Chancellor, Sant Sarwan Singh Ji and Vice Chancellor Dr. Dharmjit Singh Parmar under the aegis of IQAC organized Expert Talk entitled “Water Crisis in Punjab” on 13th May, 2022. The motive of this talk was to give clarity to the students regarding the decreasing levels of water and prevention of its wastage.
The keynote speaker of the talk was Dr Onkar Singh Brraich, Associate Professor, Department of Zoology and Environment Sciences, Punjabi university Patiala.
The event started around 12:00 pm with a brief introduction and welcome note to the keynote speaker. During his lecture, he highlighted the over-exploitation of groundwater to meet the agriculture requirements by the state. Though water crisis has hit Punjab for the past over three decades, no serious efforts have been made to address this issue. Approximately 50 students from various departments attended the lecture.
The speaker beautifully conveyed the message that reduce wastage and indiscriminate use of water otherwise very soon Punjab will turn into barn land. He emphasized that water is a one of the precious entities given by nature and it should be preserved by every means. The event was a huge success, where students felt motivated and determined to contribute towards the prevention of wasting this resource.
