"I was not aware of such a beautiful park in the vicinity of Chandigarh before", as told by one of the student visitor. Another student said "Sometimes... it is difficult to make our home and surroundings clean and green but Chandigarh Botanical garden is a perfect example of cleanliness, greenery and innovation". One can feel the clam and quietness and do introspection at such a lovely place. All the students were of the opinion that in the modern times, when we are becoming the slaves of the technology, we are going away from the mother nature and hence we can't feel the internal happiness and affection, but this visit was organized to take them a step closer to nature.
