'Run for Nature 3.0': Environmental education needed for all says environmentalist; 10,000 mango saplings distributed
HUBBALLI: The number of educated individuals has increased enormously, but educated people are weak in environmental education, regretted environmentalist and writer Shivanand Kalave. Addressing Run For Nature 3.0, organised by Green Karnataka Association, We Care Foundation, and Vasundhara Foundation, here on Sunday, Kalave said that there is a need for environmental education for educated people, whereas less educated and illiterate people are living in an eco-friendly way. 'There are trees over 5,000 years old in African countries, and their saplings are being grown in Karnataka. However, human beings, with a lifespan of about 100 years, are killing trees for their greed. If we don't go back to trees, the end of mankind is in the near future,' he warned. Natural farming expert Kavita Mishra pressed for the plantation of carbon credit trees to combat increasing carbon in the environment. 'A myth is spread that agriculture is not a profitable occupation. If we do it with heart, Mother Earth will definitely hold our hands, and I am an instance of these words. I have grown about 8,000 trees on 8.10 acres of land and earn in lakhs a month,' she claimed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Keep Your Home Efficient with This Plug-In elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo MLA Prasad Abbayya narrated that the celebration of World Environment Day started in 1973, but there is still a need for awareness. 'God has given us good nature, but human beings are spoiling it. Because of pollution, we are all consuming poisonous food. Protecting the environment is not only the duty of the govt or organisations, but everyone should join hands at an individual level,' he asserted. Kshamata Seva Samsthe convenor Govind Joshi said that Indians have been worshipping the environment in the form of trees, water, air, and all other components of the ecology. 'However, these components are being destroyed in the name of modernisation,' he analysed. Organiser Channu Hosamani said that they are distributing 10,000 mango Alphonso saplings to citizens so that they can grow them in their home gardens and eat chemical-free mangoes in the coming years. MLA Mahesh Tenginkai and others inaugurated the run.

Eid Ul Adha 2025: Bakrid Rituals, Qurbani Meaning And Celebrations In India
Last Updated: Eid Al Adha celebrations 2025: Bakrid is celebrated with great fervour and enthusiasm to honour Prophet Ibrahim's act of faith and disobedience. Eid Ul Adha Celebrations 2025: Bakrid, also known as Eid-ul-Adha, is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world. The date varies across continents according to the moon sighting; however, in India, it will be observed on June 7. The festival will fall a day prior in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Oman. Bakrid is celebrated with great fervour and enthusiasm to honour Prophet Ibrahim's act of faith and disobedience. Muslims observe this festival on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, which is the last month in the Islamic lunar calendar. Eid-ul-Adha is also called the Festival of Sacrifice because, according to Islamic tradition, God asked Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a test of devotion. Just as he was about to follow the command, God was impressed by his faith and stopped him, replacing his son with a ram (male sheep). This festival honours Ibrahim's willingness to obey God. Bakrid Rituals On this day, Muslims wear traditional clothes and gather in mosques or open ground to offer Eid prayers. After the prayers, they perform a main ritual called Qurbani of sheep, goat, camel or buffalo. Then the meat of the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends and one for the poor. Bakrid celebration across India People prepare delicious meals on this day with the sacrificed animal. Common dishes include biryani, kebabs, mutton korma and sheer kurma. Families gather for festive meals and guests are warmly welcomed. It is a day for social bonding. People visit relatives and neighbours' houses, greet each other with Eid Mubarak, and exchange gifts or Eidi. Some even visit charitable houses and orphanages to distribute food, clothes or money. It is not compulsory for people to perform Qurbani; only those who can afford it can do so. Every family celebrates Bakrid in their own special way. Some celebrate this day by cooking traditional dishes passed down from their grandparents, others may donate clothes or books as part of Qurbani.
