The Petra Club, St. Anthony’s College, Shillong, was founded in 2025 to inspire curiosity in Earth sciences and encourage learning beyond the classroom. The club provides a space for hands-on activities, teamwork and community outreach, guided by the values of sustainability and Earth stewardship.
The Petra Club will help students build technical skills, leadership qualities and a spirit of collaboration through seminars, workshops and field trips.

At its core, the Petra Club is a platform that celebrates curiosity, open dialogue and a passion for geology helping students grow as both geoscientists and socially responsible individuals.
The Hammer represents geology as a field science, emphasizing exploration, investigation and the practical tools of a geoscientist. It signifies strength, precision and the pursuit of knowledge through hands-on learning.
The 20 Stars encircling the logo symbolize the 20 branches of geology, reflecting the vastness and diversity of Earth sciences. Together, they highlight the club’s commitment to providing a holistic understanding of the subject.
