On the occasion of Engineer's Day, 15th September
2019, ASCE SRM Student Chapter, Department of Civil Engineering, SRM
Institute of Science and Technology conducted a mass palm tree seed plantation
drive along the bunds of Potheri Lake in order to restore and maintain an
ecological balance and to strengthen the newly constructed bund.

V. Thirumurugan, Associate Director (Campus life) and Mr. S. Pradeep, Faculty Advisor,

Palm tree is one of the most versatile plants and it can be
used in many forms in all its stages. Mr.Subash Tamilan and his team from
Bharadhidasan Pasumai Arakkatallai, a government registered NGO which has
actively participated for environmental causes explained about the benefits of
palm tree and supported the members of ASCE SRM Student Chapter to collect and
Sow palm seeds.
The team successfully sowed 3500 palm seeds on both sides of
the bund. We at ASCE are committed to be socially responsible engineers and we
strive to create a green and healthy environment to live in with peace and
harmony.
