President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday exhorted students to adapt to a lifestyle which was harmonious to nature and help world face challenges of global warming as well as climate change.
Addressing the 12th convocation ceremony of Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanja Deo University at Baripada, Ms. Murmu hailed the University for establishing the ‘Sacred Grove’ on its premises to preserve the tribal cultural tradition. Sacred groves are symbols of the community’s effort to protect natural resources.
It is believed that plants, mountains and rivers all have life. Not only humans but also all living beings owe their origin to nature, she said, advising people to live in harmony with nature.
