We the students of SSA Govt. College Of Arts & Commerce Pernem had organised the English Excursion Tour at Central Library , Doordarshan Goa & Site scene at Miramar Campal Beach for the students of SYBA of English Department. The total number of students were approximately 50 were taken to the trip . The tour begins form college campus by our own college bus . While going for the trip we had sing a song lot of over there and as we reach to our first destination ie, Doordarshan Kendra Panjim ; there we get to learn how the recording has been done & how live news get telecast and editing work . The studio was fully setup up by camera , lights & green screen . The Doordarshan also take the drama shorts over there and telecast at there news channel etc . We get to learn form sir how the editing & others works had been done over there sir had explained to us very nicely. I wold like to say few words what the sir had tell us during the explanation Doordarshan is an autonomous public service broadcaster founded by the Government of India, which is one of two divisions of Prasar Bharati.It is one of India's largest broadcasting organisations in terms of studio and transmitter infrastructure, having been established on 15 September 1959. After that we had gone to over next destination ie, Goa State Central Library, According to its official site, it is "the oldest Public Library in India," having been inaugurated on 15 September 1832 by the Portuguese Viceroy of Goa, Dom Manuel de Portugal e Castro. It was known then as the Publica Livraria of the Academia Militar de Goa (Military Training Institute). This library is the oldest library in India and there were also have the internet service for the user who can access to the internet for the study referenced and AC & Non - Ac room also available for the study without any disturbances. Backside of the central library there is a place beautiful called a Mangroves Birdwalk, India’s second Mangrove Boardwalk opened in the heart of Panjim city (the first one is in the Andaman islands). Located right behind the Goa State Central Library (now also called Krishnadas Shama Library), this walk is an insight into the many types of mangrove species, the wildlife of the area and a call for a close interaction with nature.
This first-of-its-kind walkway over the mangroves is for visitors to explore, discover and learn more about the flora and fauna of the region. Located over the Ourem Creek, this one is spread across 1,100 square metres and is free for all to visit. Opened to public a while ago, one can go here anytime of the day to just walk around, look at the frogs, crabs, birds and other creatures that reside in these mangroves. Oh, and there are 14 different types of mangroves there too.
The importance of mangroves in protecting the coastal ecosystem from heavy floods and damage is something that most of us don’t really dwell on. But if you visit this boardwalk, it may just help you understand how nature has provided us with everything. Young or old, environmentally aware or not, a visit here will bring a lot of insights. Plus, it also has benches for those who just want to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Off late, lots of locals have taken to this wooden walkway to get away from the city and soak in all of this natural beauty. It helps to know that the making of this boardwalk didn't require any deforestation and was made keeping in mind the ecosystem. And, who do we thank for this? The Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Project with assistance from the Central Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs. Also we have by side of the central library Newly open Bridge call Gyan Sethu Walkway connecting Mala and Patto, midway Goa's central library, easing daily commute of students and public working either sides.
The name 'Gnyaan Setu' since the bridge connects directly to the library or 'knowledge' after that we had moved to the our last destination ie, Miramar Campal Beach for having a lunch , after having a lunch we had clicked some good pictures over there and spend some good time with friends. Almost by 2.45 pm we had leaved form the Miramar , while returning home we had played a game called Aantakshari among us and we can’t also get the time to check out the outside of the bus how times goes we can’t only know and when we reached back to the college while playing . I guess almost at 4.30 or something we had back to the college and our trip get over . Our special thanks to the Department of English who had organised a great excursion for the students of SYBA .
