Environment Awarness Campaign on February 22 at Dibrugarh to spread the message
among the youth about deforestation, degradation of the environment, pollution
and also how to take remedial measures to mitigate negative effects of man made
and natural occurrences to the environment in order to  ensure that all  of us
enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.The Campaign comprised of lectures for
students, a Workshop on Environment Protection and a Tree Plantation Drive under
the supervision of environment experts of the Army. A large number of students
and teachers from the schools of Dibrugarh, participated in the programme  and
made the event a success by fostering “ Environmental Activism”, educating
the youth of our social responsibility towards environment, stimulating public
action, and empowering the youth to become active agents of sustainable and
equitable development.This unique initiative of the Dah Division was lauded by
the students, teachers, fraternity and the general public who had actively
participated in the campaign.
