Themed ‘Ending Plastic Pollution’, this year’s initiative supports the global mission to curb plastic waste. The competitions are designed to engage students from primary, middle, and high schools, encouraging them to creatively express their understanding of environmental issues.
While the drawing contest is open to students from all school levels, the essay writing segment is exclusively for high school participants. The events will be conducted in two sessions: the drawing competition for primary and middle school students will run from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by the high school session from 12:00 noon.
Winners from each category will be recognized during a special ceremony on June 5 at Tripura Vasini, Palace Grounds, Ballari Road, marking World Environment Day.
Students wishing to participate can register in person at the KSPCB Regional Office, Bengaluru South, located at Nisarga Bhavan, 7th D Cross, Shivanagar. Online registrations are also open through the email address [email protected].
The initiative reflects KSPCB’s commitment to fostering environmental responsibility among the younger generation through creative engagement.
