Event Title : No to Single use Plastic

Lead Speaker : Shwetal Shah

Event Date : April 24, 2021

Larger Impact : More than 2500 years ago, Bhagwan Mahavir said: There is no quality of soul more subtle than non-violence and no virtue of spirit greater than reverence for life. To celebrate Mahavir Jayanti differently, we organized an exclusive meeting to explain the impact of plastic on the environment.

Nayapadmasagarsuriji Maharajsahaeb blessed the team for this unique initiative.

Our expert, Shwetal Shah explained the impact of plastic on the environment and our young patrons shared their perspectives on how we should celebrate our festivals.
