In a world which is becoming increasingly aware of the need for environmental protection for the future of the planet and the survival of its inhabitants, this Wing has been focusing on such global issues by educating through awareness raising campaigns in India and overseas. The unique flavour of these campaigns is the emphasis on the inextricable connection between the mental pollution of the BEINGS and the physical pollution of our world.
Following are the details of projects completed under the campaign:
- 1990 – To educate the masses, four “All India Environmental Awareness Campaigns” were organised during Sept.-Oct. 1990, covering different parts of 13 states of India by traveling about 19000 Kms. Details of the groups are as under:
