INTACH-Punjab organises eco-sustainability workshop

Jalandhar, August 27

To instil a sense of responsibility towards environmental sustainability among the younger generation, INTACH, Punjab, organised a hands-on workshop titled “Trash to Treasure” at Cambridge International School, Kapurthala. The event was led by Preeti Sangvi, an artist and Harvard World Record holder, who guided the students through the art of transforming everyday waste into creative treasures.

During the workshop, Sangvi introduced the participants to fabric painting and bottle painting, demonstrating how discarded materials can be repurposed into artistic creations. The event saw enthusiastic participation of over 50 students, who eagerly engaged in the activities, showcasing their newfound skills in upcycling.

Maj Gen Balwinder Singh (retd), INTACH Punjab’s convener, emphasised on the importance of such initiatives in shaping the next generation. “We are committed to raising awareness among our youth so they can grow into constructive and effective citizens of our nation. Workshops like these are a regular feature of our efforts,” he said.

Principal Sapna Katoch of Cambridge International School expressed her gratitude towards INTACH Punjab for selecting their institution to host the workshop. She highlighted the significant impact such events have on students, noting, “These workshops have the potential to bring about a quantum change in our students, encouraging them to stay constructively engaged”.

The event was marked by the active involvement of INTACH Punjab’s Kapurthala Convener, Sarabjot Singh, and was regarded as a successful step towards fostering eco-consciousness among the youth.
