This national programme educates children on tiger conservation, biodiversity and the environment. “Through this programme, we hope to change the way a generation thinks by 2030. We plan to revive our planet and its endangered species," said Bittu Sahgal, the editor of the magazine Sanctuary Asia.
Students expressed their solidarity for the cause through songs and skits. “This is a fest of a different sort. Here, through entertainment, we are trying to generate awareness about our wildlife, especially tigers," said Class VIII student Jmiksha Chopra of Modern High School, who along with her friends, sang a song.
Participating schools included South City International, Birla High for Boys and Girls, Vivekananda Mission School and Mahadevi Birla Girls' Higher Secondary School. Read the full report here.
