The balance between economic growth & environment protection is the key for prosperity & social equity. Our education system should emphasize that our natural resources are finite & youth need to work on preserving ecosystems and biodiversity and protect the natural resources.
World is facing escalated natural calamities leading to loss of lives, damage to infra & impact on society. Our educational institutions must work on improving early warning systems & collaborate with local population for nature-based solutions for disaster & climate resilience : LG Manoj Sinha
