Mr. Charanjit Singh Chadha, President Chief Khalsa Diwan, expressed his satisfaction on the Seva being carried out under the EcoAmritsar Program, and said that they were happy to associate with them.
“The first event together shall be the Guru Gobind Ji Gurpurab Nagar Kirtan on 06 Jan, where it shall be ensured that cleanliness before, and after, the procession is maintained. The association will be a clear message to society that cleanliness and godliness is akin, and we must pay our respect to this Holy City by playing our role as citizens positively”, Chadha said.
Dr. Santokh Singh, Vice President Chief Khalsa Diwan, stated, “We had announced our intention to work with EcoAmritsar at their stakeholders meet last week. With this MOU all Guru Harkrishan Public Schools shall have their own Eco Green Clubs, and the students given training to be Responsible citizens”
Said Gunbir Singh, Chairman EcoAmritsar, “Support shall also be sought from World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) to create A calendar of ecological events for children in the institutions of Chief Khalsa Diwan. The society has a avid nursery of over 55000 potential green warriors in 46 schools, 3 colleges and the orphanage who can be trained to be responsible to the environment. The MOU therefore is handsome news indeed for all of us.”
The EcoAmritsar program has been well received by the SGPC, Khalsa College Society, GND University, Iskon Society, Churches, Mosques and community at large. The message of responsible citizenship has also been adopted by various NGO’s as their own, therefore redoubling the endeavour for a Clean and Green Amritsar by 2017.
