World Earth Day 2024 History and Significance: Why do we celebrate it?

The origin of Earth Day can be traced back to 1970. The idea behind the event originated from Gaylord Nelson, a US senator, and Denis Hayes, a Harvard student. They were both deeply disturbed by the deteriorating environment in the United States and the massive January 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Deeply disturbed by the environmental impacts, he wanted to infuse the energy of student protests into an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution. He recruited Denis Hayes, a young activist, to manage the campus teach-ins and to scale the idea of environment conservation to a broader public. They choose April 22, a weekday between Spring Break and Final Exams, to increase student participation. Its immediate success was evident with a massive turnout of 20 million people across the US.

PUSTAKOPHAR

 PUSTAKOPHAR

The concept of ’Pustakopahar’ (Passing over of the textbooks to juniors students) has been developed with the objective of using relatively new-used books by the students of all age groups before the beginning of an academic year.

The books are especially useful for children from low economic backgrounds, who in spite of being able to afford education, are unable to afford academic session. Beside a step like this brings an opportunity to let the text books have a new life, inculcate a spirit of bonding between students.

The students learn and exhibit responsible moral behavior, and contribute a student’s effort towards saving money and environment.

Therefore, students are requested to come forward and give their textbooks and other related study material to the immediate juniors through Library.
