YFC completed the final module 'Conservation and you' of the planet and you program

We are excited to announce that 'The Planet and You' program is nearing completion. The key goals of the last month module was to enable students to understand conservation and its importance, to establish the importance of developing the right attitude towards nature and to introduce students to daily conservation practices at home. 


‘Mindless mining: The Tragedy of Kudremukh’, an advocacy film by Shekar Dattatri, was screened   for students to envision the power of collective will and the possibilities of how people from different walks of life could come together to protect natural heritage. This was followed by an audiovisual on daily conservation practices like composting, recycling, up-cycling.

Students were asked to talk about their different career interests that spanned becoming a District Collector, police officer, engineer, doctor, pilot, teacher, artist etc. Small groups of students were asked to imagine and speak about how they would resolve a conservation issue together.


Certificates were awarded to all participating students. Framed wildlife posters with a conservation message and a set of documentary films by Shekar Dattatri were presented to the schools for their future awareness programs. It was apparent that ‘The Planet and You’ program had left an indelible mark among students and their teachers.
