“We believe that our awareness seminars are a tool that will yield tangible results in the form of food waste reduction. The mission is to achieve reduction in food waste by 50% at household, institutional and industrial levels. The walk makes the impact of the same cause more prominent,” stated a statement issued by the System Research Society (SRS).
NCC cadets, students from Royal Global School, St. Stephens School and DPS Khanapara, along with their teachers, were a part of the walk. Many local people and delegates from the previous day’s seminar also joined the walk. The silent walk, reverberated of high energy, was led by students who are central in SRS’s aim to create awareness regarding the need to combat food waste. Students and volunteers held banners and placards that voiced the concern that life runs of food and we shall not waste it
“As future leaders, we see students playing a major role in creating this awareness with us and being aware in the process,” the statement further added.
Participants were served with refreshments by the volunteers of SRS, while a brief message was also shared with them by System Research Society. The message on their refreshment boxes read “Enjoy our Meal! But don’t waste food.” This reiterated the need of collective action required today and appealed to the participants to become ambassadors for the cause amongst their peer groups and circles.
Concluding the event for the day, an interactive session with the students was conducted wherein they shared their experiences of the walk.
