Visakhapatnam
The Hindu Future India Club (FIC) and AMNS organised a painting and elocution competition for school students from across Visakhapatnam, at Visakha Public Library on Thursday, marking the World Environment Day.
The speakers stressed the need for environmental protection and gradually phasing out the use of plastic products.
The painting made by the participants vividly depicted the role of every citizen in working collectively for environmental protection.
“My daughter, B. Prathyeka, a student of Delhi Public School, got the first prize in the painting competition. Such events give wings to the creativity of children and hone their talent. I am sure this programme will be a good experience for all participants,” says Sailatha Behara, a parent of a praticipant.
Symbiosis Technologies (Visakhapatnam) CEO O. Naresh Kumar, who participated as the chief guest in the programme, said, “The government should focus on constructing at least one model green building in each district. So far, there is not a single green building of 100% compliance with the mandatory parameters in the State. The government should promote green concept by exempting taxes on e-vehicles,” he said.
Mr. Naresh Kumar praised The Hindu and AMNS for organising such competitions for schoolchildren.
