DIMAPUR: The Green Campus Initiative, a pilot project under the Community Social Responsibility (ComSR) model, was launched at Zunheboto Government College on August 12, 2026, with a focus on environmental sustainability, community participation and conservation. The initiative was jointly organised by Zunheboto Government College and the Zunheboto Forest Division.
In his introductory remarks, Divisional Forest Officer, Zunheboto Forest Division, Obed Bohovi Swu emphasised the importance of community participation in addressing local issues. He said government assistance alone cannot provide solutions to every challenge and stressed that communities must come together and take responsibility for helping themselves. He added that the objective should be to find solutions rather than allow issues to escalate, highlighting that collective responsibility is essential for sustainable development.
Swu noted the role of Zunheboto Government College as the only government college in the district in taking forward the initiative. He said the college’s committed faculty could work together to improve the campus through green initiatives, which would not only create a greener environment but also enhance the institution’s image while giving students and faculty an opportunity to embrace environmental conservation as social responsibility.
Launching the Green Campus Initiative at Zunheboto Government College on August 12, Deputy Commissioner, Zunheboto, Dharam Raj, described it as an innovative programme and thanked DFO Obed Bohovi Swu for conceptualising the initiative.
DC said the initiative should be viewed holistically and not merely as an effort to increase forest cover, stressing that conservation and development must go hand in hand.
