Vice-Chancellor, Jammu University, Prof Umesh Rai; Vice-Chancellor Cluster University of Jammu, Prof Bechan Lal; President ZSI, Prof B N Panday; Immediate Past President, ISCA, Prof Vijay Lakshmi Saxena; Commissioner/Secretary, Science and Technology Department, J&K, Mr Saurabh Bhagat, IAS; Registrar KU, Dr Nisar A Mir; General Secretary ZSI Prof Kamal Jaiswal, and Head, Department of Environmental Science KU and Convener of the Conference Prof Fayaz Ahmad, shared the dais at the inaugural session.

In her presidential address, Prof Nilofer urged young students to be in the driver’s seat in the global fight for environment protection and help promote “environment consciousness” in the society.

Prof Nilofer said Universities across J&K can further collaborate to find innovative solutions to new environmental challenges in the region. She congratulated the organisers for holding the important collaborative event.

In his special address, Prof B N Panday urged young students to understand the origin of the environment and help stop what he called the “ecocide which is threatening plant and animal life on planet Earth.”

Prof Umesh Rai called for dismantling the boundaries of academic disciplines in J&K universities to address the “new environmental challenges in a trans-disciplinary manner”, while Prof Bechan Lal said that young students need to shoulder the responsibility of environment protection, saying there are fears that 40% of food supply will get curtailed due to global warming and climate change in next 40 years.

Mr Saurabh Bhagat, IAS, said the J&K’s Science and Technology Department has earmarked Rs five crore for research and development (R&D) on waste-to-energy research and solutions and urged the students and faculty from universities to come up with project proposals in this regard and “share their knowledge and research with the government for policy-making.”
