The World Environment Day is a platform for action to remember
about the need for the protection of our Mother Earth. It is
also the UN's most important day for encouraging worldwide
awareness and action for the protection of our environment.
Since it began in 1972, it has grown to become a global platform
for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100
countries.
It is also the People's Day above all. The World Environment Day
is the "people's day" for doing something to take care of the
Earth. That "something" can be focused locally, nationally or
globally; it can be a solo action or involve a crowd. Everyone
is free to choose.
The Theme Each World Environment Day is organized around a theme
that focuses attention on a particularly pressing environmental
concern. The theme for 2018 is beating plastic pollution.
Every World Environment Day has a different global host country,
where the official celebrations take place. The focus on the
host country helps highlight the environmental challenges it
faces, and supports the effort to address them. This year's host
is India.

by Mahatma Gandhi : “The world has enough for everyone's need,
but not enough for everyone's greed”, opined Chancellor Dr.
