 Mehngrowal is a sleepy hamlet located in the semi hilly area bordering Himachal Pardesh  in the foot hills of Shivalik Range of Hills.There is a earthen dam named Damsal Dam  built to harness the water of seasonal rivulets of Shivaliks for irrigation purposes.  This was the place where camping was done in the morning and Children participated in painting competition and their parents un-winded themselves .  Children were taken for a tour of the dam under the guidance of Sh Manoj Kumar and Sh Pankaj Sharma and they understood the working of the dam , its advantages and its impact upon the environment and the agriculture of the area. They also carried out cleanliness drive in the surroundings .Then the party moved to the Mehngrowal Rest House located near by and a seminar on the "Dangers of Polythene" was held .
