Dehradun: The Dehradun Hills Academy, in association with iCARE, conducted an exhibition along with a seminar to display projects created by students on various conservation related issues. It was visited by environmentalist Dr Anil P Joshi, founder of the Himalayan Environmental Studies and Conservation Organisation. As part of the programme, Joshi first visited various stalls displaying posters, projects, articles, placards, etc., prepared by students of class 2 to class 12. Students also had a question and answer session with the Chief Guest.
On the occasion, Dr Joshi said he was really excited with the kind of enthusiasm he saw in the students and urged them to carry forward the good work that they had done. He also expressed his desire to partner with iCARE on a school programme precisely designed on Conservation Activities for other schools as well. iCARE is a volunteer based organisation working on bringing a change - a change of attitude, a change of ideas, a change for the better.
On the occasion, the founder of iCARE, Yudhister Singh, expressed gratitude to Dehradun Hills Academy for providing a platform to make a difference. “We at iCARE believe in being the change,” he declared. “We are currently working with DDHA and very soon will be launching our much awaited latest initiative ‘ABCD’ – A Beautiful Campaign for Dehradun - which will basically include schools and colleges along with citizens of the Doon Valley who want to help in restoring it to its former beauty.
The objective of ‘ABCD’ is to spread awareness on various environmental issues and most importantly suggest simple sustainable an inexpensive ready-to-implement solutions.
“It was a real honour to interact with Dr Joshi and to get his views on various issues concerning the environment,” said Sonal Kanyal of class VIII.
