SPA–EIACP PC RP on Human Settlements and their Impact on Environment actively participated in a
day SAMBHAV Culmination Event held on 28th March 2026. The event, organised by TERI–EIACP PC
RP, aimed to sensitise participants towards the principles of Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment),
with a focus on reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable alternatives. It marked the
successful conclusion of a series of awareness and community engagement activities conducted
under the SAMBHAV campaign. The event was graced by the presence of Ms. Nameeta Prasad, Joint
Secretary, MoEF&CC and Ms. Lipika Roy, Joint Director, MoEF&CC.
During the event, SPA–EIACP showcased a variety of knowledge products, including a kid’s booklet on
various themes, newsletters, a compilation of success stories on the single-use plastic ban, thematic
timetables on single-use plastics, air quality index and wetlands, as well as special publications on
green belt and tolerant vegetation. A quiz and interactive game session based on Mission LiFE
concepts emerged as a key highlight, engaging over 300 school students and helping them
understand how everyday habits impact the environment.
To promote eco-friendly practices and encourage active participation in reducing their ecological
footprints, students were provided with Kid’s booklets on Human Settlements and Informative
Timetables. Overall, the team sensitised around 700 individuals, and the stall received appreciation
from visiting dignitaries.
