As preparations for World Environment Day on June 5 gather momentum across the country, social organization ARPAN has announced a series of awareness-driven initiatives aimed at promoting environmental conservation and encouraging sustainable living practices.

The organization stated that the primary objective of these programs is to spread environmental awareness among people from all walks of life and inspire the younger generation to actively contribute towards building a greener and healthier planet.

As part of the celebrations, ARPAN has launched a Reel Competition inviting participants to create short videos, ranging from 30 to 90 seconds, showcasing eco-friendly habits, innovative environmental initiatives, and sustainable lifestyle practices. Interested participants can submit their entries via WhatsApp by June 4.

The second major event, titled “Walk for Your Planet,” will be held on June 4 at 6:00 PM. The environmental awareness march will begin in front of Agartala’s historic Ujjayanta Palace. Through this initiative, the organization aims to spread messages on environmental protection, tree plantation, plastic reduction, and sustainable living among the general public.

On June 5, World Environment Day, ARPAN will also organize a Drawing Competition for Children and Teenagers at Rabindra Satabarshiki Bhavan in Agartala. The competition will be open to participants aged 6 to 14 years and will be conducted across three age-based categories. Young artists will be encouraged to express their ideas on themes such as environmental protection, nature conservation, and building a greener future.

According to the organizers, environmental protection is not solely the responsibility of governments or institutions but requires the active participation of every individual. At a time when challenges such as climate change, pollution, and deforestation continue to intensify, initiatives like these can play a significant role in fostering greater awareness and responsibility among citizens.

ARPAN expressed hope that these programs will contribute towards creating a safer environment and securing a brighter future for the coming generations. The organization has also appealed to all nature lovers and environmentally conscious citizens to participate actively in the events and support the cause of environmental conservation.
