They also mentioned the widespread belief that climate change is primarily a political issue. This leads to the conclusion that only the government or international organisations should handle this crucial issue.

This is amply demonstrating that climate change goes beyond only influencing individuals, families, and communities and all should do their part to protect the environment.
Dr. Ajay Gupta informed that various activities including; Save Energy, Save Water, Adopt Sustainable healthy lifestyle, Reduce Waste, E-Waste, Plantation Drive, Say no to Single Use Plastic will be organized as part of mission LiFE campaign from 20th May to 5th June 2023.
Dr. Rubia Bukhari, Campus Officer Poonch, while speaking on the occasion thanked Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) for organizing such events on a very important topic.
