Chandigarh, April 26, 2026:Marking an early celebration of World Environment Day, youth initiative “Our Young Catalysts” joined hands with the Verka Enclave Association to organise a plantation drive aimed at promoting environmental responsibility and community participation.
The event witnessed enthusiastic involvement from young volunteers, who not only planted saplings but also gave each plant a unique name, symbolising personal responsibility towards nurturing the environment.
Organisers said the initiative was about going beyond symbolic celebrations and fostering a long-term commitment to sustainability. “Celebrating Environment Day is not just about one day—it’s about nurturing a lifecycle. With community support, we aim to ensure these plants grow alongside us,” a group representative said.
The drive concluded with participants taking a collective pledge to reduce plastic usage and maintain the newly created green corridor, reinforcing the message of sustainable living and grassroots action.
