AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—Prof. Badungar has announced plans to launch an ‘Environment Awareness Campaign’ to build up towards commemorating the 550th birth anniversary of the Sikh master, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, in 2019.
In a phone call with Sikh24 yesterday, Prof. Badungar said that the campaign will be focused on enriching Punjab’s greenery over the next three years.
He said that the whole world was struggling to tackle rising air pollution and global warming. “Guru Nanak Sahib has taught us to respect nature by comparing air, water and earth with teacher, father and mother respectively”, he added.
He added that environmentalist Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal will participate in the campaign to convey the message of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
“The SGPC is hosting a meeting at Gurdwara Ber Sahib on December 7 in which intellectuals and representatives of prominent religious bodies will address the theme”, he added.
