On behalf of the English Literary Association, of J.J. College of Arts and Science (Autonomous)Pudukkottai , 51 ( III UG and PG ) students visited The Butterfly Park at Palur, Srirangam, Thiruchirappalli on 5. 1. 2023. The bus started from the campus at 9.30 a.m and reached the spot at 11.00 a.m. The journey was very pleasant and they went round the artefacts on display with great gusto.
The natural setting, the flowering bushes and plants and the beautiful models in concrete but painted with natural colors that lent an element of real life-beauty to the images, the caterpillar cave and the explanations given by the guide made the trip a memorable one. The students returned home with a sense of satisfaction of having known a wide spectrum of information about different varieties of butterflies. The students had the experience of a picnic cum study tour.
The Department will follow up this event with a competition in creative writing based on travel, the scenic beauties seen and butterflies as things of beauty and as patterns of human behaviour.
