Moving beyond the confines of classrooms, scholars and students sat alongside forest dwellers to explore a truth too often ignored—that the fate of human communities and the natural world are inextricably bound.

The outreach programme on “Forest & Wildlife Resources,” organised under the ICSSR project of the ministry of education, brought together 60 postgraduate students, 42 forest dwellers, faculty, and research scholars. Jointly hosted by the college’s postgraduate departments of geography and zoology, the initiative underscored how the future of both people and biodiversity hinges on conservation.
