The Department of Education of Majlis Arts and Science College (Autonomous), Puramannur, celebrated World Environment Day on 5 June 2026 with various activities aimed at promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.

As part of the celebration, the department organized a visit to an Organic Ayurvedic Garden at Chattipparamb (Life Line Herbal Garden ).

All the teachers of the department accompanied the trip.

Upon reaching the garden, the participants explored the entire garden amidst a pleasant rainy atmosphere, which added to the beauty of the visit. Following the garden tour, an interactive session was conducted by the owner of the garden, Mr. Musthafa Thorappa. His life story was truly inspiring. He shared how an accident in 1994 left him physically challenged, but with determination, courage, and the support of his family, he rebuilt his life. Being a mechanical engineer, he designed and developed a specially modified car that can be controlled using one hand and fingers. He has also designed similar vehicles for other differently-abled individuals. He further explained the significance of medicinal plants and the importance of preserving India’s Ayurvedic heritage.

During the feedback session, Soumya Missand student AdithyaGanesh shared their thoughts and experiences. As a token of appreciation and love, a small memento was presented to Mr. Musthafa Thorappa. The group departed from the garden at 12:15 p.m. and reached the college at 12:50 p.m.
