Celebrating World Environment Day

In fact, World Environment Day was celebrated across locations on the theme 'Air Pollution' in association with the United Nations initiative to encourage worldwide awareness and action to protect the environment. Self help groups created awareness about the issues and concerns on the environment and solutions towards it as well as distributed jute bags, organized rallies and cleanliness campaigns and encouraged to avoid using plastic bags by converting old jeans into carry bags distributed in the villages.


Rallies across surrounding villages were conducted by school children followed by speech and painting competition. In some locations plants like neem, gulmohour, jamun, kanji and peepal were planted in the ACL premises and villages by the ACL staff. Toilet constructions were also discussed in some villages.


World Environment Day also saw ACF bestowed with the 'Himachal Pradesh Environment Leadership Award' for 2018-19 by the Department of Environment Science and Technology, Govt. of Himachal Pradesh. The award appreciates ACF's excellence in promotion of environment conversation and sustainable development and was given by the Honorable Chief Minister of HP, Shri Jai Ram Thakur.
