Even then, despite the Lockdown, The Eco Club of TNNLU has continued to keep students active by organising discussions on Environmental law every month with the aim to be the platform for sharing knowledge and building knowledge in the field of Environmental Law. The Club also issues a newsletter “Kaveri” every month that provides a compilation of Environment related news, tracks, environmental lawsuits in the Judiciary, and other columns such as endangered species identifying the protection granted to them under the WLPA. Along with academic events, the Eco Club also conducted the first edition of "Eco Fest 2021", consisting of fun-filled events that helped in enriching students' legal knowledge on the environment and to unleash their creative skills. Further, the Club is active on social media platforms where it shares videos and posts on international days of importance and informative posts to spread awareness. Hence, it can be guaranteed that the Eco Club of TNNLU strives hard to motivate people and spread knowledge on how this earth can be made greener, cleaner and safer.
