Despite being India’s most polluted city with a vehicular pollution of around 53 lakhs vehicles, Delhi is home to around 80 butterflies and almost every species of butterfly can be seen in the 1000 acre beautiful campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University,
New Delhi because it has all native grasses , native trees and shrubs they all serve as a species –specific host plant within campus, I have already started an awareness programme among students from Life Sciences and Environmental sciences about Birds ,Butterflies
,Reptiles and other wild animals of JNU campus and results are encouraging I am getting all support from JNU authorities and students for the work I am on the way to prepare a “Pictorial data Bank of the butterflies of JNU” which may help all other butterfly
lovers of Delhi.
