Tree Map Unveiling and Miyawaki Forest Launch on World Environment Day

On the occasion of the World Environment Day on 5th June 2025, the Tree Map of the Nitte University campus was unveiled by Prof. (Dr) M S Moodithaya, Vice-Chancellor of Nitte University. The Nitte Miyawaki Forest was launched by Dr. Pratap Lingaiah, State NSS Officer, Youth Empowerment & Sports Department, GoK by unveiling the plaque and planting a sapling.

The Miyawaki method, developed by Japanese botanist Dr. Akira Miyawaki, is a proven technique for creating dense, fast-growing native forest using only indigenous plant species. It involves high-density, multi-layered planting that mimics natural forest ecosystems, resulting in rapid growth and self-sustainability within 2-3 years. Native species such as neem, benga, kadamba, mango, golden shower, Ashoka tree, Indian blackberry, kokum, monkey jack, surahonne, jackfruit, red sandalwood and cinnamon were planted in a 6534 sq. ft area dedicated to developing the Nitte Miyawaki Forest.

The program was organized by the Sustainable Development Goal Cell and the National Service Scheme of Nitte University under the guidance of Prof. (Dr) Suma Ballal, Dy. Registrar & Chief Coordinator, SDG Cell; Mr. Shashikumar Shetty, NSS Coordinator and Dr. Vinayaka Shet, Member Secretary, SDG Cell.
