City-based DRM Infrastructure on Sunday felicitated winners of an inter-school drawing competition, ‘Paint your Planet’, which had been held here on the occasion of the World Environment Day on June 5.
Nearly 200 children from Classes —II to XII from different schools in the city had participated in the contest. Nine children from various schools were awarded prizes in three different groups.
DRM Infrastructure MD Dhruti Ranjan Mohanty said if a sense of responsibility and awareness on environment is infused in a child right from the beginning, it could go a long way in protecting the environment as children can be the biggest inspiration for their parents and, hence, create a sustainable impact.
NSW president and former State Information Commissioner Jagadananda attended the event as the chief guest in the presence of environmentalist Piyush Ranjan Rout and Human life Centre director Joshy Xavier.
