CWG Delhi 2010, GNCTD, GoI and athletes join hands to<br />

raise awareness of environmental issues. Initiatives included:<br />

• Green concerts in Kolkata, Mumbai and Hyderabad<br />

• Public service messages linking sporting spirit and reducing<br />

carbon footprint were released<br />

• Tree planting programmes were organised across the nation<br />

• Grassroots organisations and residential associations were<br />

used to spread awareness on environmental issues.<br />

• School-children and college students were also involved in<br />

programmes such as:<br />

* Painting and kite-flying competitions<br />

* Marathon<br />

* Green Filmmaking Workshop<br />

* Eco-trips<br />

* Slogan-writing competition<br />

* Green film screenings<br />

* Cleanliness drives<br />

• Special programmes were organised to commemorate<br />

World Environment Day<br />

All this has resulted in a major boost in India’s ‘Green<br />

quotient’ and is bound to pay-off with a shift in behaviour<br />

towards more environmentally-friendly patterns!<br />
