AKHNOOR, Dec 18: A seminar and a plantation drive on Mission Life, organised by the Central Bureau of Communication, was held at Govt Hr. Sec. School Dori Dager, today.
The programme was attended by Narinder Raina, Tehsildar Kharabali, Meenakshi Chadha, Principal of the school and Rajesh Sharma in-charge CBC Jammu/Kathua/Samba.
The programme started with the welcome address by Rajesh Sharma.
Sharma threw light on various activities undertaken by C.B.C across India and especially in J&K, Ladakh. He focussed on the various programmes of Govt of India and highlighted various schemes started by the Union Government.
Talking about “Mission Life” he said that this initiative was introduced by India in 2021 at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the parties (COP26) in Glasgow with an aim to bring a lifestyle change for saving our environment.
The aim of this initiative is to turn its vision in to observable effects for the protection of environment he added.
He also mentioned the entry of India in to “Amrit Kaal” and efforts Indian citizens should make to realise the reality of emerging India.
Narinder Raina said, “These kind of programmes are important for awaring the common masses.”
“We have been considering our environment as our mother. Keeping our environment clean is a big challenge as we have different types of pollutions being emitted everywhere. The only thing which can effectively curb the pollution generation is behavioural changes for protection of environment,” he said.
Meenakshi Chadha gave threadbare information about the initiatives taken by the school in reducing single use plastic and urged the audience to save the energy and use CFL/Tube lights in place of incandescent light bulbs.
She stressed to switch off the vehicles at traffic lights and railway crossings in order to save the energy.
Earlier, a Plantation drive was carried out in the premises of the school in which large number of the students participated with great enthusiasm.
On the occasion a pledge for protection of environment was also administered.
