In collaboration with the Telangana Forest Department, our team visited Mahavir Harina Vanasthali National Park on 3.02.2026. The visit was facilitated by Shri Sai Prakash ji, FRO, MHVNP, Vidya Sagar ji, S.O., Ms Sarita ji, B.O., on the instruction of the DFO, Ranga Reddy Shri. Rohith Gopidi ji, thankful for his kind guidance of the Department.
During our field assessment, we identified the alarming presence of several invasive alien plant species that are exerting ecological pressure on native biodiversity. These include:
• Prosopis juliflora
• Lantana camara
• Hyptis suaveolens
• Alternanthera sessilis
• Chromolaena odorata
• Cenchrus pedicellatus
These invasive species are known to suppress native flora, alter soil chemistry, impede natural regeneration and disturb wildlife habitats. Their unchecked proliferation poses a serious threat to the ecological integrity of this vital urban forest landscape.
We are now prepared to initiate structured eradication and ecological restoration measures in close coordination with the Forest Department. Our proposed intervention will focus on scientific removal, community engagement, awareness campaigns and long-term habitat restoration through native species regeneration.
Protecting our forests is not merely an environmental obligation—it is a moral imperative for future generations. Together, through collaborative action and informed stewardship, we can restore the natural resilience of our protected landscapes.

Day 18. Persistence pays off. 💚

In between back-to-back election codes—Gram Panchayat first, Municipality next—and after countless rounds of meetings with the Municipality, College Management, Police, Revenue, Agriculture and Forest Departments, the effort finally bore fruit.

With the energy of students and the solid backing of college management, Eco Fawn Society successfully cleared the campus of invasive alien w**ds. 🌿✊
What was once overrun is now reclaimed.

This wasn’t just a cleanup.
It was coordination, commitment, and collective will in action.

The next phase is already in sight—
✔ clearing debris
✔ leveling the land
✔ restoring the campus for long-term ecological health

Proud of what collaboration can achieve—even when the odds (and codes!) are stacked against you. The journey continues. 🌍

When students lead, nature heals. 🌱✨

ECO FAWN Society was invited by Gulbarga University to conduct an educational programme on Invasive Alien W**ds at the Indoor Stadium within the university campus on 22 January 2026. The programme was organized as part of the ongoing NSS five-day campaign and witnessed active participation from students and faculty members.
The ECO FAWN team was warmly received by Shri. Jangappa, Director of NSS and the Registrar of Gulbarga University, Mr Ramesh Londonkar, who appreciated the relevance of the issue and graciously encouraged the Society to extend the initiative beyond awareness by undertaking a hands-on eradication drive with NSS volunteers.

He emphasized that invasive alien w**d species pose not merely an environmental challenge but a serious socio-economic and livelihood concern requiring urgent, collective action.
The interaction reinforced the critical role of youth in ecological stewardship and community-led conservation. ECO FAWN Society expressed its commitment to soon undertake a comprehensive invasive alien w**ds eradication drive on the university campus, in collaboration with NSS students, translating awareness into meaningful on-ground action.

🌿 ECO FAWN Society | Awareness Program on Invasive Alien W**ds 🌿

Today, ECO FAWN Society organised an Awareness Programme on “Invasive Alien W**ds” at Government Junior College, Vikarabad.

The college campus is currently infested with dangerous invasive w**d species such as:
• Parthenium hysterophorus
• Hyptis suaveolens
• Lantana camara
• Xanthium strumarium

These w**ds severely impact student health, soil quality, campus biodiversity and the overall ambience of the institution.

🌱 Our Next Step
In the coming days, ECO FAWN Society will begin a scientific eradication drive on the campus. This will be followed by the plantation of native tree species and medicinal plants to restore the landscape and create a clean, healthy and eco-friendly learning environment.

✨ Our goal is to transform the college into a model campus for biodiversity restoration and youth participation in environmental stewardship.

📸 Pictures attached.
🙏 We thank the college staff and students for their enthusiastic participation.
