On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) and Narayan Seva Sansthan jointly organised an environmental awareness programme on Thursday, where participants took a collective pledge to protect and preserve nature through sustained tree plantation efforts.
The programme emphasised the growing urgency of environmental conservation amid visible climate changes driven by global warming. Speakers highlighted that increasing green cover is critical to counter rising pollution levels and ensure a healthier ecosystem for future generations.
Participants pledged to actively promote tree plantation and maintain green surroundings, underlining that forest conservation and environmental responsibility must remain a long-term priority rather than a symbolic gesture.
Prashant Agarwal, President of Narayan Seva Sansthan, stressed the link between greenery and sustainable development. “Pollution levels continue to rise every year, and its impact is increasingly visible on the health of children, youth, and the elderly. Expanding green cover is essential if we want future generations to breathe clean air,” he said.
Based in Udaipur, Narayan Seva Sansthan has been working for the welfare of persons with disabilities for over three decades. The organisation has conducted more than 3.5 lakh corrective surgeries in the last 30 years, helping individuals who have lost limbs due to birth conditions or accidents regain mobility and independence through artificial limbs.
Beyond medical rehabilitation, the institution continues to engage in social and environmental initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development.
