To spread awareness about the importance of protecting the ozone layer, the Green Club and Department of Zoology organised a painting competition on World Ozone Day for students. The event was supported by the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board (CECB). A total of 150 students from six government and private schools of Naya Raipur, along with the students of our University, participated in the competition. Students showcased their creativity in drawing and painting by making pictures relevant to the topic. Their creativity reflected concern for the environment as well as solutions for protecting the ozone layer. The program concluded with a prize distribution ceremony, where Mr. Amar Prakash Sawant, Public Relations Officer of CECB, awarded the winners. In the student category, the first prize was won by Chrystal House School, while the second and third prizes went to Kendriya Vidyalaya (Naya Raipur) and Government High School, Rakhi.
