3 Objectives To encourage students to exhibit their knowledge, presentation skills and innovative ideas. To create social and environmental awareness among students. To understand the different processes that destroys ozone in the Earth's atmosphere. To develop an understanding of the global trend towards ozone depletion, recovery and enlighten how citizens can help to reduce ozone depletion.

4 Preface of Event 16 th September is celebrated as World Ozone Day to create awareness among people regarding importance of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. With this idea keep in mind the ABACUS Club of Department of MCA, K K Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research, Nashik has organized Social Awareness Program: Poster Competition on World Ozone Day on 16 th September This competition was organized for First year MCA students. Total 15 posters have been displayed by participants. The event started with address by Head of MCA department Prof. Vandana C. Bagal. She stressed on importance of ozone layer in the stratosphere where it forms a protective layer that shields us from harmful ultraviolet rays. Human activity has depleted this ozone layer and caused "holes" in ozone layer. She stressed on saving the ozone layer and said one should take preventive measures for saving the environment, stop using the products which are harmful for the environment, if our environment is safe, only then we are safe. Safe environment will lead to safer lives. After Prof. Vandana Bagal s speech, felicitation of judge, Prof. Pallavi More from P.V.G College Nashik was performed. A video clip showing Ozone Awareness is played. Prof. Pallavi More has delivered speech on importance of Ozone in environment. She explained how Ozone gas protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Further she extended without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface and plants cannot live and grow in heavy ultraviolet radiation, nor can the plankton that serve as food for most of the ocean life. The ozone layer acts as a shield to absorb the UV rays, and keep them from doing damage at the Earth's surface.

5 At the end the judge inaugurated the poster competition. Students have made beautiful posters representing the importance of the ozone layer in the atmosphere and how it had been damaged over decades mainly due to human activities. They also elucidated the precautions that could be taken to protect the ozone layer by countries, organizations and individuals. They emphasized the need to impart knowledge and spread awareness about the far reaching consequences of the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere and how, by being an ozone friendly consumer, every individual could contribute to the replenishment of ozone to protect planet earth from the ill-effects of global warming and related phenomena, caused mainly by the depletion of the thinning of the ozone layer over the poles. All the students of second year and third year students with faculty members of MCA department have visited the poster and encourage the first year students for their activity. First year students nicely explained the thought behind each poster and all the students and faculty members ensured to follow those thoughts for preventing the ozone layer. Finally Prof. Pallavi More declared the winners for the competition. Prof. M. E. Maniyar Prof. V. C. Bagal Prof. Dr. K. N. Nandurkar Coordinator- ABACUS CLUB I/C Head Principal Department of MCA Department of MCA KKWIEER, Nashik
