Srinagar, June 07: The Eco Club for Mission LiFE Summer Camp in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has emerged as a resounding success, with more than 260,000 students actively participating in a variety of environmentally-focused activities.
The camp, aimed at increasing environmental awareness and promoting sustainability, has garnered widespread enthusiasm and participation from young minds across the region.
The summer camp, which forms part of the Mission Life initiative, has seen students engaging in numerous activities designed to foster a deeper connection with nature and instill a sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation.

The camp has extended its reach beyond the immediate school environments with organized village visits.

These interactions have fostered a collaborative spirit and highlighted the importance of community involvement in achieving environmental goals.
A major part of the summer camp’s activities has been a large-scale cleanliness drive, where students actively participated in cleaning public spaces, thereby promoting the importance of hygiene and waste management. This initiative has not only beautified the local areas but also instilled a sense of civic duty among the participants.
