ANNOUNCEMENTS
The EARTH DAY 2025 was celebrated at TERISAS through a lively session on "EARTH TALKS: FROM COP FRONTLINES" organized by the Department of Natural and Applied Sciences. The session was inaugurated by Prof SK Dhar, Vice Chancellor of TERISAS, through his inspiring talk on taking a pledge and taking action individually to save our planet. Prof CK Singh, Dean Academics, added that the time is now to show that we care through genuine actions based on adopting natural solutions. Ms Hemavathi S Shekhar, a climate researcher and lawyer, delivered her session on the relevance of climate negotiations at COP, how every COP has gained from discussions and delivery from previous COPs, and the journey for the Global South and small island nations has been arduous. She mentioned that intergenerational equity was coined for the first time in COP2015 and that youth and individuals must have a role to play in deciding the future of the implementations and commitments that each country makes, which will impact our combined future on the Earth. The students participated enthusiastically in the discussions.
