Welcome to Jadavpur Greens!

Deepest Condolences: Twin tragedy have struck the parivesh movement, almost within the span of a month - taking away two of our most inspirational founder members. We have lost Manjusha Guha, our beloved Manjushadi, on the 8th of Oct, '08 and Anil Kumar Mandal, our beloved 'Meshomoshai' on the 18th of Nov, '08. This is a difficult time for us, and the loss is irreplaceable. We will never forget you Manjushadi, we will never forget you Meshomoshai, may your souls rest in eternal peace.

Watch this video of the pond being restored (initial stages). You might need to collapse the top frame of that 'linked to' page to see a larger video.

The pond has been cleared of vegetation, and looks dark and limpid like a doe's eyes. The banks have been dressed, steps cut into it thereby increasing the perimeter to some extent. It looks so beautiful. All we need are a good few weeks of monsoon showers to fill it up. (video of initial stages of work being done coming soon!)

2nd June 2007 - 'Rabindra-Najrul Sandhya' organized by the Samiti. Chief guest: Hon'ble Minister (PWD, Govt of West Bengal) and MLA, Sri Kshiti Goswami.

GREAT NEWS! - following our deputation to the Hon'ble Minister of Public Works on Mar 13, 2007, initial work on restoration of the pond has began from the 2nd week of April. Needless to say, we are more than happy, although, after the incomplete restoration work of 2006, we are keeping our fingers crossed. Our heartiest thanks goes to the Minister for so quickly responding to our plea.

Also, a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to Bengalis all around the world! May the year 1414 bring you happiness and success.

Saraswati Puja 2006, Feb 3rd - inviting residents to participate in the 4th community puja organized by the committee. Leaflet...

Disappointed, but hanging on... We were not expecting this. The work of embedding logs (piling) along the perimeter of the pond, so as to support the muddy bank has been done upto a length of 37m. We have been told by the powers that be that the present allotment of fund doesn't permit more extensive work. Clearly, we were hoping that piling or not, at least the thick coat of water hyacinth and tangled grass covering the surface would be cleared. Obviously, that will not happen, at least not in this initial phase. We must wait for the next allocation. On the brighter side, this pond, which was being stealthily enchroached upon has now re-established its identity as a pond. Government money has been spent on it. This is not a trivial achievement at all! Parivesh Suraksha Committee, and the people of the locality can take a bit of a pride in this.
