Celebrating World Environment Day - Digitally

First held in 1974 by the UN to raise awareness on environmental issues, World Environment Day — celebrated on 5th June every year — aims to inspire action to protect the environment. Today, it is the largest global platform for environmental outreach, engaging major corporations, NGOs, communities, governments, and public figures from 143 countries. This year’s theme was “Celebrating Biodiversity”, highlighting the need to save resources and reconnect with nature.

SEDI Bhatapara: Creativity at Home

During India’s lockdown, Ambuja Foundation’s SEDI team in Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh organized online activities. Trainees from Beautician, Retail Management, Assistant Electrician, and Hotel Management trades created chart-paper models and slogans using materials available at home. The theme was pure air and the value of trees, and trainees and teachers presented remarkable designs emphasizing the importance of biodiversity.
