On March 28th 2014 SOCH celebrated earth hour observation by saving electricity through power cut for an hour in AMU campus. AMU students switched off the light of their rooms for an hour, lighted up candles and took a pledge not only to save energy but also to inform everyone regarding the same.
Dr. Saleem Mohammad Khan, president of SOCH who is concerned for environment protection said” public awareness about environment protection must be started at stage of infancy. Of late, some awareness has taken place related to environmental degradation, pollution etc. but incomplete knowledge and information and ignorance about many aspects have often led to misconception”. The program was organized in collaboration with Department of Wild Life and Biodiversity Conservation, Aligarh Muslim University.
