It gives us great pleasure to announce that M.C. Mehta Environmental Foundation (MCMEF) is yet again organising two Environment Training Programme(s) which will be held from 06-June-2015 to 12-June-2015 and from 12-June-2015 to 18June-2015 at the Eco-Ashram, Medawala (Thano), Tehsil Rishikesh, District Dehradun (Uttarakhand).
With over 125 lawyers, 300 students and 500 NGOs having participated in previous programmes, our camps have successfully fostered concerned citizens into responsible and aware activists. Eminent jurists, scientists, professors, conservationists, government officials etc. from India and beyond have over the years equipped our participants with the requisite knowledge to stand up for the cause of environmental conservation.
Through this camp, we at MCMEF want to provide students pursuing various courses, teachers, professors and NGO professionals with the opportunity to learn from the experience and vision of experts in the field and understand their significant role in protecting the future of our environment. Through lectures, field trips, nature walks and presentations, in addition to the experience of living in the lap of nature at our Eco-Ashram, we aim to help students internalize the spirit to stand up for our planet by understanding its problems and arriving at possible solutions.
Please find below all details about the programme and a Registration Form which needs to be e-mailed at the time of registration to[email protected]. A digitized brochure with a detailed time table and pictures will be uploaded here soon.
Register and get ready for a very humbling and life-transforming experience that will awaken your senses and facilitate realization.
Looking forward to seeing you!
