He hoped that this theme would contribute to the strengthening of the public’s commitment to environmental conservation.

Padma Shri Ravi Kannan, in his address, urged the committee members to sustain the practice of environmental conservation throughout the year through various green activities.

As part of their environmental awareness efforts, a short documentary has been prepared to emphasize the need for protecting the ambient environment of Silchar and its adjoining areas. This documentary will be displayed during all four days of the Durga Puja, providing visitors with valuable insights into the importance of nature and environment conservation.

The Durga Puja committee has extended an open invitation to everyone to visit their premises and partake in the celebrations. By adopting the theme of “Nature and Environment Conservation,” this puja seeks to not only celebrate cultural and religious traditions but also to emphasize the crucial role that individuals and communities must play in preserving our environment for future generations. It serves as a powerful reminder that environmental conservation is not just a responsibility but a necessity for the world we live in today.
