Environment day Observed :

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 05. The event is a United Nations initiative to increase worldwide awareness on environmental issues to help motivate individual and political action.

Drylands cover more than 40 percent of Earth’s surface and are home to a third of the world’s population. People who make their home in drylands live in a fragile ecosystem and are more vulnerable than most other people to changes in climate and desertification—a process of land degradation in which semi-arid areas are transformed into deserts. The World Environment Day is a people’s event and can be observed in innumerable ways to draw attention to wide range of environmental issues.

World Environment Day was observed at Cachar Paper Mill, Nagaon Paper Mill and at the Housing Complex at Salt Lake, Kolkata. Prior to the D-Day, both the Mills witnessed hectic activities in preparing for the event. The clean up drive washed afresh with intermittent pre-monsoon rain coincided with the blooming of flowers of various hues. This along with the natural green foliage added extra sheen to the perfectly well manicured gardens. Ceremonial planting of saplings were held in the Mill’s premises, the Township, the Kendriya Vidyalaya grounds and in the Housing Complex at Salt Lake, Kolkata. Leaflets and badges pledging the cause for protection of environment were distributed amongst the employees and school children.
