Students of Classes VI – VII had the privilege of attending an enlightening session on January 24, 2025 by Prof. Chetan Solanki, widely known as the ‘Solar Man of India’. With great passion and urgency, he spoke about the critical need to conserve energy and use the Earth’s resources wisely. Highlighting the alarming rate at which fossil fuels are being depleted, he emphasized the fact that while we may all be growing ( read progressing ) in all spheres of life, the earth is NOT, it is what it is ! There is a limit to what we can extract from the earth.
Prof. Solanki’s speech was both thought-provoking and inspiring. He illustrated how small, conscious efforts in daily life could significantly reduce energy consumption. He urged students to take responsibility for the environment, stressing that sustainability is not just a choice but a necessity for future generations. In a powerful call to action, he encouraged everyone to pledge a 20% reduction in their household electricity bills for the coming month.
The session left a deep impact on the audience, motivating them to adopt energy-efficient habits. Prof. Solanki’s insights reinforced the idea that real change begins at home, and even small steps can contribute to a greener, more sustainable planet.
