Pure Earth Foundation (PEF), a charitable society, is organising the 3rd Pure Earth Environment Conference (PEEC) on November 27 in the virtual mode. PEEC is a bi-annual conference to promote research and innovation in the field of environment, natural resources and social related issues
The focal theme for PEEC-2021 is ‘Environment and Education’. Undergraduate, post graduate or research students in science, engineering and social subjects are invited to share their techno-scientific and innovative ideas through paper presentations. A selection committee will scrutinise those and the selected papers will be presented at the conference. Two best presentations will be awarded cash prizes.
“Our aim is to encourage a serious discussion around environmental conservation and sustainability, which is an urgent issue of our times. As they say, there is no Planet B, hence our focus is to protect our Mother Earth and its natural resources from further deterioration,” said former DGP and PEF president M.V.Krishna Rao IPS (retired).
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
