The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) is set to host a series of drawing and essay writing competitions for school students in Bengaluru as part of the World Environment Day 2025 celebrations. The events will be held at Jawahar Bal Bhavan, Cubbon Park, on June 3, aiming to raise awareness about environmental conservation among the youth.
This year's theme, "Ending Plastic Pollution," reflects global efforts to address the critical issue of plastic waste. The competitions are open to students across primary, middle, and high school levels. Drawing contests will be conducted for all three categories, while the essay writing competition will be exclusive to high school students.
The schedule is divided into two sessions: the morning session from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. will accommodate primary and middle school students, and the high school segment will run from 12:00 noon.
Winners from each category will be recognized during the World Environment Day event on June 5, to be held at Tripura Vasini, Gate No. 2, Palace Grounds, Ballari Road.
Students interested in participating can register in person at the KSPCB Regional Office, Bengaluru South, located at Nisarga Bhavan, 7th D Cross, Shivanagar, Bengaluru – 560010. Online registration is also open via email at [email protected].
This initiative is part of KSPCB's commitment to engage young minds in fostering environmental responsibility, coinciding with the global observance of World Environment Day.
