World Environment Day (WED) is observed every year on 5th June, 2016 to raise global awareness to take positive environmental action to protect nature and the planet. Since it began in 1974, it has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries. To add to the glory of this day, Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS) came forward and supported this noble cause through the students of its holistic education program called Manthan – Sampoorna Vikas Kendra (SVK). Since Manthan SVK enlivens the true philosophy of education for societal development, it strongly believes that the environment should be conducive to the student’s overall learning and development. So the organisation took the initiative of promoting awareness to save the Mother Earth and protect its natural beauty.
