A showcase event was organised in the school - an
audio visual presentation by Prof. Dhrubajyoti Mukhopadhyay, a world renowned
geoscientist, on the topic ‘Global warming – The Changing Environment’. The
seminar was attended by the students of classes X, XI & XII, along with
members of the Presidency Ex Students Association.
The main focus of the lecture was ‘changes in our
climate and weather’ which is measured through various weather stations and
digital floats. The rate of increase in temperature has also increased in the
recent years, mainly due to human activities. In the future, tropical cyclones
are predicted to increase in the Indian Ocean. To solve this problem Prof.
Mukhopadhyay suggested organising more awareness programmes and better
formulation of government environmental policies.
After the lecture an interactive session was
organised where the students asked questions to the speaker and got answers to
their queries. This was an enriching and enlightening experience for all
present.
