The quiz provided an excellent platform for students to test their environmental knowledge while fostering ecological awareness and responsible citizenship. The active participation of the Biochemistry students reflects the department's commitment to promoting sustainability and encouraging students to contribute towards environmental protection. All participants became eligible to receive an e-certificate in recognition of their involvement in this nationwide initiative.
