On Sunday, we held our first screening of Yamuna for Agra with the young girls of the Udyan Shalini Fellowship, followed by an engaging discussion on river pollution, hazardous waste, and the urgent need for better infrastructure to prevent pollution from entering the Yamuna.
Dr. Meeta Kulshreshtha from Unfold Foundation, who works in preventive health and actively raises awareness about plastic pollution, nanoplastics, and harmful chemicals, spoke about how the products we use in our daily lives can affect our health. She highlighted how protecting our health and making informed choices are also important steps towards protecting our environment.
Atmiye Erum, President of Journey to Roots Trust, discussed the harmful effects of different forms of pollution and emphasised why we must talk about the Yamuna more often. She also shared the importance of taking Yamuna for Agra to more people across the city to create awareness and encourage citizens to take responsibility for their river.
We are deeply grateful to Pratibha Ji for this wonderful opportunity to interact with the students. The girls were attentive, curious, and wonderfully engaged throughout the session.
A heartfelt thank you to the students for their thoughtful gifts of beautiful mugs and diaries for both our guests. It was a truly meaningful experience, and we hope to continue inspiring young minds to care for our river, our health, and our environment.
Watch. Think. Ask. Speak.
