As the world advances by leaps and bounds with each passing day, one word that has become imperative is ‘sustainability’. Environment sustainability is a global concern and in the direction to promote a vision of a sustainable and environmentally friendly institution, the club strives to raise awareness and understanding of environmental issues among the students, as future managers. Throughout the year, Prakriti Club organizes various Green Campus activities in which the students play an integral part.
Towards the objective of the club an activity “Go Green 2.0, -National Short Film Competition” was organized by Prakriti, the Environment Club at Asian School of Business on 7th April 2022 at its Noida campus. Within the film contest, the students were supposed to submit short films (individually / team) in three categories to reflect on environmental awareness, the connection between biodiversity and society, and global environmental-social problems in the form of cartoons, animation, interviews, puppet film, documentary, etc.
