Today our society is facing lot of problems related to environment. Moreover, today students are more connected to people all over the world but less connected to the near and dear ones and the nature. Taking this into consideration, Nature Club in our GHRCCST college, sorts out some activities which help them to connect, to our ‘Mother Earth’. The Nature Club conducts various activities such as recycling, environment painting wasp, throughout the year.

The Nature Club aims at inculcating an appreciation of nature among students and encouraging them to participate in a variety of conservation initiatives. Its efforts include inviting leading environmentalists to the college to talk to students and sensitize them to the opportunities and challenges in addressing environmental issues, organizing an annual tree-planting day, and participating in important nature-oriented programs. Students also work on recycling waste and reduction of consumption on campus by recycling paper and providing support to the rag-pickers of Nagpur.

The school works towards making the school campus an eco-friendly place. There are bins to segregate garbage, ‘Bio Degradable and ‘Recyclable Material Bin’. The bio degradable material is safely disposed off while the recyclable material is again handed over to FORCE for further processing.

Public speaking and leadership skills are the two sides of the same coin named TOASTMASTERS .

Public speaking can make your heart skip a beat and ‘I am going to die on stage fear grips you’. But the speech assignments in Toastmasters helps you to research on the topic, it teaches you to get to the point ,organize your speeches and it also guides you how to present your speech, how to persuade and inspire your audience.Toastmasters is a perfect platform to grow as a speaker as well as an individual who can accept challenges and to overcome them with triumph.

It was rightly stated by Ralph Smedly the founder of TOASTMASTERS “But just what do we mean by ‘leadership’it would appear to be the capacity to look ahead ,think ahead ,plan ahead ,and then influence other people to go ahead on the plan”. In leadership skills one can learn to inspire ,coach,support and delegate others.

Being a part of toastmasters ,an individual displays improved communication skills and interpersonal relations. His personal growth is judged and appreciated by people around who do notice the changed personality ,but this change can be achieved only by achieving ones own personal goals along with the enhanced performance in the show of leadership skills.

What does it mean to be fit? Finding a discrete definition is somewhat difficult. According to the dictionary, fitness means: “the quality or state of being fit." If you find those words somewhat vague, you’re not alone.

And that’s sort of the point, according to exercise experts. Fitness doesn’t have to mean that you’re an ultra-marathoner or that you can perform one pull-up or one hundred. Fitness can mean different things for different people.

“For GHRCCST, fitness is first and foremost about feeling good and being able to move without pain”. The fitness club explains that true fitness is about feeling healthy and being in sufficient shape to do the activities you want to do and live the lifestyle you want to live. But physical fitness should not solely be measured with any one of these or other tests or evaluations. Traditionally, college have defined five key components of physical fitness: body composition, cardiorespiratory or aerobic fitness, flexibility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. The club balances all the components to give the best to its students.
