PANAJI
On the occasion of the 151st birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the Eco Club of Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, Panjim, organized a webinar on Conservation of Natural Wealth. The students of XI & XII Science along with Principal and staff were a part of this educative and highly informative program.
The event began with the felicitation of the Guest Speaker Dr Manoj Borkar, a senior academician and a fellow of the Indian Academy of Environmental Sciences. The participants were impressed by the profound knowledge of the speaker on the topic “Are we the Owners or the Custodians of our Natural Wealth?”
Drawing inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi, the speaker called for a change in attitude from being egocentric to eco-centric, and to embrace a lifestyle of minimalism to prevent further degradation of the environment and its diminishing resources.
The Principal, Fr Savio Gomes informed the participants that the HSS has joined the Don Bosco Green Alliance, an international collective of young people committed to global environmental action, thought and policy. The informative webinar culminated with a vote of thanks proposed by the Eco Club Student Leader, Evanthika Pereira.
