“Everyone should learn from Kro about his philanthropy and immense contribution towards society,” he said.
Kalita also spoke in length on the values of life, environmental consciousness, and the impact of globalisation. He stated, “With extensive use of plastics, polythene bags and tea served in plastic cups in hotels and dumping them on the ground the earth is being polluted. For commercial purposes and building cities and towns, hills are being cut. Trees are mercilessly being felled.”
With the reduction of vegetation oxygen is being reduced, Kalita said and urged people to cultivate the habit of walking for a healthier life and avoid using plastic bags to reduce soil degradation.
