MBAs had a talk on “Youth’s Role in Pollution Mitigation”

Prof. K Raghottama Rao, Director & Founder ‘Seek of’, Founder of Manas Centre for Training & Development enlightened the minds of students on their role in pollution mitigation. He is an amateur naturalist, film maker & trainer for corporate organizations, teachers & students. Mr. Arjun from the team Swacch Bharath was also present during the session.

Mr. Rao started off saying “Indians don’t have oral hygiene cause our ancestors used salt & charcoal back then & currently we have Colgate using the same ingredients for their products”. He highlighted the fact that consumerism is the main cause of pollution. Youngsters, these days, shop online and the packaging used for it has just added up to trash. He applauded Sahyadri saying “it’s a brand producing many brands under it, through its students and we could actually ponder upon and mitigate pollution in many ways”. He showed a clipping which mainly concentrated on gesture and the actions of many people. The essence of the video was to keep the thoughts clean as they reflect what we do. He urged students to declare Sahyadri Campus as plastic free & litter free. He also encouraged students to observe a No Vehicle Day and he would surely support us for this cause. He concluded by encouraging students that Youth can bring lot of changes.
