This year’s theme is “Teach for the Green Planet” as part of efforts to promote consciousness of the importance of a sustainable natural environment. Mr. Animesh Nandi (gold medallist from Academy of Fine Arts) was the judge of the competition.
Sutanu Ghosh, President, The Bengal Chamber, said, “Corporate life demands that we always stay busy. In the midst of our luxuries and comforts, we forget the harm we do to nature. The world has been tremendously affected by global warming; this climate change is one of the effects. In order to make the children aware of this current situation, The Bengal Chamber has been taking the initiative for the last five years so that some measures can be taken to save this Earth.”
