The Earth Day was celebrated by the NR Creative and Hope in the nearby villages and schools in Koraput.
On this occasion a rally was taken out to spread consciousness among people about climate change and protect the climate by planting tree and not to use polythene and other plastic materials which are slowly destroying the nature.
A street play was organised by the youths on the deadly effect of climate change and how in future it is going to affect the humanity if early precaution is not taken by planting trees, controlling pollution and not wasting the natural resources which is gifted by nature.
An open panel discussion was organised for the school and college students on topic ‘climate change and our role for sustainable development’. A video on the Earth Day network was displayed.
Koraput, despite being richly gifted by nature, is a victim of climate change effect as its the temperature is increasing abnormally high. Never was the summer temperature 40 degree C even during peak time. The programme was coordinated by Ritu Agrawal and Nishan Pattanaik.
