One Fingerprint, One Promise for Water

The SJEC ECO Club, in association with the Department of Civil Engineering, Culture and Community Group (CCG), and NSS SJEC Unit, organized a special activity on the occasion of World Water Day on 18 March 2026 at Block II and Admin Block, SJEC, Mangaluru.

The event aimed to create awareness among students about the importance of water conservation and to encourage individual responsibility towards sustainable water usage.

The highlight of the event was the interactive activity titled “One Fingerprint, One Promise for Water.” Students actively participated by adding their blue fingerprints to a dry tree canvas placed at designated stations. This creative representation symbolized their personal commitment to conserving water and collectively transforming a dry tree into a vibrant symbol of life and responsibility.

The activity witnessed enthusiastic participation from students across various departments throughout the day. The initiative successfully engaged students in a simple yet impactful manner, reinforcing the message that every small action contributes to a larger environmental impact.

The event was coordinated by Ms. Sinchana K (ECO Club) and Dr. Prathima S (CCG Chairperson), with support from Dr. Yajneshwaran B (Professor & Head, Civil Engineering) and Ms. Prathibha K N (NSS Unit). Student coordinators, including Melroy Almeida, Keerthana Nair, and Ruben Saldanha, played a key role in organizing and managing the activity.

Overall, the event was a great success in promoting awareness and fostering a sense of environmental responsibility among students, aligning with the objectives of World Water Day.
