Noida International University Celebrates World Environment Day with Poster Making & Essay Writing Competition to create awareness
Noida International University organised Poster Making & Essay Writing Competition on 3rd June to celebrate World Environment Day. The Cultural Committee of NIU aligned the competition with this year’s theme – ‘Only One Earth’. The aim of the activity was to create the awareness about the climate change and the threat our earth is facing due to human activities and encourage student to take action against the same.
70+ students from all 12 schools of NIU participated in the competition and around 120 visitors were also present to encourage them.

While addressing the students at the event, Prof. (Dr.) Vikram Singh, Hon’ble Chancellor, Noida International University said, “We only have one earth and our own activities have made it difficult for the earth to survive. The earth has lost its glory and it is our responsibility to bring back that glory. The students are the future generation and thus we all need to act now before we end up losing every natural resource. This activity may seem simple but it has a great impact on young minds as students not only get to showcase their skills and express their emotions towards the mother earth but also understand the seriousness of Climate Change. I would like to thank all the students and visitors for participating in this event and request them to follow 3R’s in their life to save our planet earth – Reuse, Reduce & Recycle”.
