Green Initiatives
Green Club
The Green Club of HJCE is established to facilitate Youth engagement and Water Stewardship (YEWS) among the students as per MoU signed between Department of Higher & Technical Education, Government of Maharashtra with UNICEF. The aim of Green Club is to empower students to participate and take up meaningful environmental activities, so as to ensure effective implementation and act as a platform to develop sustainable lifestyles, knowledge and leadership skills. Green Club focuses to work towards the ecofriendly environment in the college and the community by effective use of resources including water conservation, efficient use of energy, Biodiversity conservation and facilitating youth in taking up activities to combat and face climate change globally, nationally, and at the local level. The participation of members is recognized at different stages by giving badges during the tenure and to be awarded with a certificate for participation after the completion of two years. The student body consists of one President, one Vice President, one Campaign Coordinator and one Documentation Coordinator. HJCE Green Club primarily focuses on coordinating with youth of our college to support ecofriendly practices and projects within colleges and communities as extension services. The college follows the directives / guidelines issued by the State secretariat for the smooth functioning of Green Club and College Administration.
Gardening
It is a policy of the college to gift plants instead of a bouquet of flowers to resource persons and dignitaries, when they visit the college. These are normally plants that have been nurtured by students, in the ‘green space’ on the college terrace. The college has registered with Green Army as part of the Tree Plantation drive ‘Vanamahotsav’ and does its bit for the cause of tree plantations every year.
