JAMMU, Feb 25: Speaker State Legislative Assembly, Kavinder Gupta today said that restoration of lost human values is must for survival of mankind.
Speaking in a workshop cum photo exhibition organized by “We the Human” a Charitable Public Trust, here today, he said the present crisis in the State is only due to the fact that the human beings have forgotten their originality and that they are born human first and then given distinctive identity in this world by bringing them up as Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian or in other religions.
He said all human beings, in this world, are creation of one almighty God and have been given enough wisdom by God to fulfill their responsibilities towards fellow human beings and the mother nature, apart from living a respectable life.
But, the human beings have forgotten their duties towards fellow citizens and even, have badly eroded the nature, disturbing its balance, in guise of unsustainable development and growth during last three decades and the green revolution, which saw excessive use of chemical & synthetic pesticides, insecticides, fungicides & herbicides and badly damaged health of soil, he added.
Earlier, speaking about the objectives of the Public Trust “We The Human”, one of its senior founder members S. Prem Singh, said that the Public Trust has been got constituted only to give a common platform to likeminded people who are aware of upcoming dangers posed to this earth and mankind by the excessive use of chemicals & synthetic pesticides/ fertilizers. They no doubt, resulted in manifold increase in production of grains, fruits & vegetables but have badly damaged soli health and also contaminated our ground water, resulting in upsurge in cases of cancer & other diseases affecting important organs of human bodies. Kavinder Gupta and other guests including Rakesh Gupta, Rajesh Gupta president & senior vice president of Chamber of Commerce and Industries, R S Jasrotia, Session Judge and S. Gurcharan Singh Chairman of the Trust released first newsletter of the Trust and distributed awards of honor.
