Chitkara University Marks World Ozone Day with Environmental Initiatives

Chitkara University observed World Ozone Day with activities designed to raise awareness about the importance of ozone layer preservation. The event coincided with the global commemoration of the Montreal Protocol; an international treaty aimed at phasing out ozone-depleting substances.

The day began with a tree plantation drive on campus, underscoring the university’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Students and faculty actively participated, planting saplings as a symbolic gesture of individual action toward global environmental challenges. The event aligned with the theme: “Ozone depletion knows no boundaries; neither should our commitment to its preservation.”

A debate and declamation contest followed, where students engaged in discussions on critical environmental issues. Topics included the shift to renewable energy, sustainable development, and the balance between economic growth and environmental conservation. Participants shared innovative solutions for ozone layer preservation and emphasised the importance of adopting clean energy practices like solar and wind power.

The day’s activities not only heightened awareness about ozone protection but also reinforced Chitkara University’s dedication to fostering a culture of sustainability. The event highlighted the critical role students play in shaping a greener future through informed, responsible actions.

Chitkara University remains committed to empowering its students with the knowledge and tools necessary to address global environmental challenges, reinforcing their role as active contributors to a sustainable and environmentally conscious world.
