One of the main highlights of the programme was the screening of two documentaries titled ‘Climate Change: Threat to Future Generation’ and ‘Mission Ehsaas: Wetlands Ecosystem Restoration’ made by Er. Rashid.

Earlier, in her welcome address, worthy Principal, Prof. (Dr.) Yasmeen Farooq Khan spoke about the importance of environmental conservation and role of mass media.

“Mass media, particularly visual or electronic media, has a very powerful impact. It remains with you for a quite long time. So I hope with what you see today, you carry home that message and become ambassadors of environment conservation,” Prof. Yasmeen impressed upon the students. “I hope that the documentaries showcased today will help foster empathy and compassion for the natural world, develop critical thinking and media literacy skills, and encourage students to become active citizens in environmental conservation,” she added.
