Bettiah. With the aim of raising awareness about environmental protection and plastic pollution, the Niruja Green India Parivar Foundation organized an exhibition titled “Plastic Reuse: Junk Reuse” in the premises of Baba Haridas Naga Saraswati Balika Vidya Mandir, Rajdevri. At the exhibition, 140 students from the school created a variety of attractive and creative artworks by reusing plastic waste. This unique initiative captivated the guests and spectators present.
Through the exhibition, the children conveyed the message that plastic is becoming a serious threat to our environment. Therefore, everyone must understand their responsibility to maintain environmental balance. Instead of throwing away waste plastic, it can be reused to create useful and attractive items.
The program was inaugurated by Kamal Arora, President of the Inner Wheel Club, and Somani, President of the Marwari Mahila Samiti. Dr. Neeraj Gupta, CEO of the organization, welcomed the guests present. He stated that the “Plastic Reuse: Junk Jugaad” exhibition will be held throughout Bihar to raise awareness about environmental conservation among more people, especially children and youth.
A five-member jury consisting of Lalbabu Prasad, Nandlal Gupta, Vishal Mishra, Baijnath Kumar, and Rahul Kumar was formed to evaluate the artworks presented in the exhibition. The jury selected the first, second, and third place winners in Groups A, B, and C.
Among the award winners, Abhijay Anand from Group A secured first place, Kavya Kumari second, and Prabhakar third. In Group B, Rajnandini secured first place, Aradhana Shubham second, and Chhabi Kumari third. Similarly, in Group C, Vaishnavi Gupta secured first place, Diksha Kumari second, and Madhu Kumari third.
Chief guest Ashok Kumar, retired teacher, school principal Vinita Kumari, and Pooja Gupta, Director of The Green Bharat Times, presented prizes and recognition to the winning participants, encouraging them.
On this occasion, the school’s Principal, Vinita Kumari, stated that plastic is extremely dangerous for the environment. She appealed to all students and their parents to minimize the use of plastic in their daily lives and to use it only when absolutely necessary. She added that after use, instead of throwing plastic around, it should be collected and given to a designated place so that it can be properly recycled.
Bihar Program Director Rajiv Kumar, District Team members Rakesh Mishra, Anil Kumar, and Avinash Baranwal, along with other members of the organization, were present at the event. Several dignitaries, including Dr. Amrish Singh, Indu Kumari, Mohammad Kalam, and Amresh Pandey, visited the exhibition and praised the children’s creative talents.
