“Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright, in the forest of the night,  What immortal hand or eye, dare frame thy fearful symmetry?”

William Blake

Reminds us of the majestic creature created by God. Look at the tigers mighty and strong, killing, them for their skin is wrong. Shoot the tigers with the cameras and not with the gun, otherwise you will lose the royal prestige and fun. Tiger is the national animal of India. It is known for grace, strength, agility and enormous power. Also, India is home to the largest number of tigers in the world, yet this creature is the most slaughtered one and is on the verge if getting extinct.

We need to raise awareness about the conservation of tigers and protection of their natural habitat. We all have to come together to protect tigers and its species. So the students of St. Joseph’s Senior Secondary School, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh celebrated International Tiger Day on 29th July, 2021, with its marvellous team of faculty and students, maintaining their legacy of celebrating such paramount occasions, fostered the awareness of the topic with a set of activities.

The students of designed exclusive masks using straw, ice cream sticks, feathers etc. Creativity and thoughtfulness was quiet evident in their activities and they proudly displayed their talent through virtual platform. The importance of saving tigers in order to keep the food chain intact and to maintain the ecological balance was very well conveyed. The need to save all endangered animals is equally important for us. Teachers shared informative videos with the students, dealing with the ways to protect Tigers. Students contributed to it with vibrant posters along with slogans. These activities also helped to instil a strong message in their minds that we all must endeavour to save this animal from extinction and save our eco system.

Principal, Ms. Monica Chawla, encouraged the children to make every effort to conserve wild life and to boycott the use and purchase of products made of animals’ skin.

Members of the School Management, Shri Rupinder Grewal, Mrs. Harjinder Kaur, Mr. Sukhdeep Grewal and Mr. Paramdeep Grewal acknowledged the efforts of the team and congratulated all on the lucrative chain of events.
