| World Wetlands Day (February 02, 2010) |
PGSC has celebrated World Wetlands Day on 2nd February, 2010 to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar Convention) in Ramsar, Iran, on 2nd February 1971. The objective of this celebration is to raise awareness among students and visitors for the conservation and management of wetland resources. Wetlands are a very important part of our biodiversity and it is essential to see that these are well protected. Wetlands have been drained and transformed by anthropogenic activities like unplanned urban and agricultural development, industrial sites, constructions, impoundment, resource extraction and dredge disposal causing substantial long-term ecological loss.
India has about 40 lac ha area under wetlands, out of which about 23,000 ha lies in Punjab. Punjab state has 12 natural and 9 manmade wetlands. The state has the privilege of having 3 wetlands of international importance covered as Ramsar sites. Harike wetland spread over an area of 28.5 sq km is famous for its migratory birds. Kanjli wetland is spread over 100 ha area at Kapurthala and Ropar wetland is spread over 1365 ha area at Ropar.
Science City has celebrated this day in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science and Technology and with a Local NGO PAHAL.
Padma Shri Baba Sewa Singh was the Chief Guest on this occasion.
On this occasion Science city has organized no. of activities like Informative lectures to the students and visitors about the wetlands importance, threats to wetlands and their conservation and management (Wetlands provide habitat to wide variety of plants, invertebrates, fish, and larger animals, including many rare, threatened, or endangered species), Posters displays, Painting competition, Declamation contest and Distribution of informative brochures among students and visitors.

| International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction (October 14, 2009) |
Pushpa Gujral Science City (PGSC) has celebrated International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction to raise awareness among students and visitors about natural disaster reduction and increasing their preparedness for such situations. On this occasion Science city has organized no. of activities like Demonstration on Earthquake Preparedness among Students and Teachers, Distribution of Earthquake Preparedness Guide etc. The celebration serves as a vehicle to promote a global culture of natural disaster reduction, including prevention, mitigation and preparedness. The field of Natural Disaster Reduction encompasses all the measures which can be taken before disaster strikes. These range from disaster prevention (avoiding the disaster all together) to disaster mitigation (alleviating the impacts of the disast er) to disaster preparedness (the last step of preparatory measures before disasters strike).
In India, one of the most hazard prone countries in South Asia, the risk of a natural disaster affecting millions of persons is extremely high. Floods, drought, landslides, and cyclones are common. The 1999 Orissa Cyclone, the 2001 Gujarat Earthquake and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami each killed more than 10,000 people and left millions homeless. The 2005 earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir was a grim reminder of the extremely high earthquake risk throughout much of South Asia. And in 2007, floods have caused havoc and misery throughout many states in India, most recently in Bihar and Assam, affecting more than forty million people and killing over 2,000 persons.

| International Biodiversity Day (May 22, 2009) |
Pushpa Gujral Science City (PGSC) celebrated International Biodiversity Day to raise awareness among students and visitors for the conservation and management of biodiversity resources. World Biodiversity Day is an initiative of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Convention on Life on Earth.
It is celebrated annually on 22 May, the day the Convention was adopted in 1992 in Nairobi. Climate change is already forcing biodiversity to adapt either through shifting habitat, changing life cycles, or the development of new physical traits. India is one of the few countries whose constitution makes specific reference to the need for conserving the rich wild heritage.
It is the fundamental duty of every Indian citizen to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures. India is party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 1992 which recognizes the sovereign rights of states to use their own Biological Resources. In order to help in realizing the objectives of CBD, India has enacted an umbrella legislation called the Biological Diversity Act 2002 aimed at conservation of biological resources and associated knowledge as well as facilitating access to them in a sustainable manner.
The theme for the International Day on Biological Diversity (IDB) in 2009 is invasive alien species (IAS) - one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, and to the ecological and economic well-being of society and the planet.
