‘Connecting genX with folk traditions need of the hour’

Jaipur: Governor Kalraj Mishra addressing the closing ceremony of the threeday summit of Civil 20, an official engagement group of the G20 on Monday, emphasised the need to pay attention to challenges related to environmental protection and development “There is an ancient and unique tradition of worshipping nature in Indian culture. The work of bringing awareness should be done on a large scale. There is a need to connect the modern generation with the folk traditions,” Mishra said.

Former CM Vasundhara Raje said, “The COVID pandemic was a testament to both the unpreparedness of nation states and the resilience of humanity. Together, govts, civil society, and science successfully combated the disease. However, amidst all our triumphs, we must heed the warning from Mother Nature, as our relentless pursuit of physical comfort is leading to reckless depletion of natural wealth. Our thirst for energy poses a grave threat to the very planet that sustains us.”

C20 Sherpa Vijaya Nambiar, Swami Amrutaswarupanand Puri, Shri M, Athayde Motta from Brazil, Elizabeth Moreno were also present during the programme.
