The World Earth Day celebration at Eternal University aimed to raise awareness about environmental conservation and encourage active participation in sustainable practices. Through a series of impactful activities, the event sought to highlight the importance of preserving our planet for future generations.
The day began with an enthusiastic awareness rally organised by the participating students and faculty members. Participants marched through the university campus, carrying banners and placards with messages advocating for protecting our mother earth. The rally aimed to engage the wider community and spread the message of Earth Day 2024, 'Planet vs. Plastic, beyond the campus boundaries.

The plantation activity not only beautified the surroundings but also served as a practical demonstration of ecosystem restoration and carbon sequestration.
