The valedictory function of the workshop is anticipated to be presided over by the vice chancellor of Dibrugarh University, Professor Jahnabi Gogoi Nath.
The workshop aims to sensitise participants about the urgent need to counter climate change, emphasising the potential catastrophic consequences if immediate action is not taken. The discussions will align with the resolutions of COP 28, recently held in Dubai, and in harmony with the resolutions adopted at the G20 Heads of States Summit in Delhi last year, presided over by India.
Participants are expected to gain insights into the intricacies of environment conservation during the workshop, enabling them to effectively design programs to inspire public engagement in afforestation and the enhancement of the remaining forest cover in the country.
Notably, Akashvani Dibrugarh has played a pivotal role in environmental initiatives, having planted approximately 20,000 trees within its listening range through its ‘Green Broadcasting’ initiative, earning global appreciation.
