Radio Chitkara 107.8 spreads awareness on World Environment Day

Radio Chitkara 107.8 FM took a noble initiative of spreading awareness on environment by organizing two talk shows on the World Environment Day.

The talk show was hosted by Dr Charu Khosla, an Associate Professor and an Environmentalist from Chitkara School of Applied Sciences. The show was aired in the morning with another show lined up for the evening, along with a panel discussion.

Dr Khosla urged everyone to adopt an environment-friendly lifestyle during the morning show. She stated that everyone should make a genuine effort to protect the environment.

Another speaker on the panel was Dr Jyotsna Kaushal, Deputy Dean, Chitkara School of Applied Sciences. Dr Kaushal stressed upon the importance of certain medicinal trees viz. Peepal, Neem, Tulsi. She talked about certain herbal ice drinks for getting relief during summers like Aam and brahami.

The evening talk show saw Dr Khosla conduct a panel discussion along with Er. Gautam Malik on the topic ‘Why Clean and Safe Water is Essential!’

Mr. Malik is an Associate Professor from the School of Mechanical Engineering, but he always puts in his untiring efforts into this field. Their discussion was totally focused on the problems of water. They urged listeners to start a mini cleanliness drive in order to keep their surroundings clean. Because polluted water is not just dirty, it is harmful.

A lack of proper sanitation services not only breeds disease, it can rob people of their basic human dignity.

The message put across for the listeners was: कभी कहींभू-स्खलन,कभी कहीं भूचाल, दूषित पर्यावरण से ,जन-जीवन बेहाल… वन संरक्षण हेतु लो,सामूहिक संकल्प तब शायद कुछ हो सके,समय बचा है अल्प !!!
