First-hand experience: Students at the RCD Biodiversity Park in Visakhapatnam on Friday.

Fifty students of B.Sc. from S.D.M. Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala, Vijayawada, visited RCD Biodiversity Park, maintained by Dolphin Nature Conservation Society and VUDA. Guided by lecturers K. Lakshmi and D. Uma, they examined plants and butterflies with curiosity.

Dr. Lakshmi said that they had been learning about the park through media but the actual experience was beyond their expectations.

The students were thrilled to see desert ecosystem, pond ecosystem, many endangered medicinal, ornamental aromatic, orchid plants, among other things, according to a press release issued by founder-president of the society Rama Murthy.
