Haridwar, October 14
To inculcate awareness among younger generation about the effects of
global warming on the earth, a painting competition was organised here
today.
Organised by the Jawaharlalal Nehru Youth Centre at Ranipur-BHEL, more
than 100 school students participated in the painting competition.
Students portrayed their
thoughts about air-water-sound pollution, global warming, green house
gas emission, river pollution, effluents flowing from industries into
the Ganga river and sapling plantation drives among others in their
paintings.
Former Uttarakhand
Women Commission Chairperson Dr Santosh Chauhan stressed on the need of
having co-curricular activities for students as it imbibed in them
creativity and competitive spirit.
Chauhan
added that the Jawaharlal Nehru Youth Centre, since its beginning in
2005 in Haridwar, had been doing commendable work to indulge the youth
in various fields. The centre was the vision of former Chief Minister
Narayan Dutt Tiwari whose role was pivotal in establishing this centre
on the Bhagat Singh intersection, Ranipur.
Literary
personality and former principal of Shravan Nath Math Jawaharlal Nehru
College PS Chauhan lauded the efforts of the Jawaharlal Nehru Youth
Centre in indulging students in such positive activities.
He
said by spreading awareness among students regarding social issues like
environment conservation, they were making their future bright, as this
generation would make sure that degradation of environment was not
done.
Tanvi Rawat, a
student, remarked that effluents being poured into the river
must be stopped and also trees being cut for the upcoming highway
expansion on Haridwar-Dehradun stretch should not be done or new trees
should be planted in lieu of several trees being cut for the fourlaning
of highway.
