NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change launched “Harit Diwali-Swasth Diwali” campaign on October 22, 2018. The main motive of this campaign is to prevent from detrimental effects of bursting the crackers.
This campaign was initiated in 2017-18 wherein a large number of school children especially from eco-clubs participated and took a pledge to minimize bursting of crackers and also discouraged the neighbourhood and their friends from bursting crackers. During this intensive campaign, the children were advised to celebrate Diwali in an environment-friendly way.
Now, this year the campaign has been extended and merged with “Green Good Deed” movement that has been initiated as a social mobilization for conservation and protection of the environment. The Ministry encourages all schools and colleges to be a part of this campaign.
