A college in western Assam’s Goalpara district has become the first in the State to sport a micro-forest in collaboration with the Assam Science Society.
The man-made forest in Lakhipur College, about 165 km west of Guwahati, is based on the concept of Japanese botanist and ecologist Akira Miyawaki.
Opening the micro-forest on the college campus on Sunday, principal Mirza Mannaf said his team would spare no effort to sustain the society’s project of restoring the environment by using available spaces across educational institutions.
