Union Minister for Chemical and Fertilisers Ananth Kumar on Monday emphasised on adopting a ‘green’ lifestyle to save the Earth from a possible doom.
Kumar was addressing a gathering at the valedictory of the annual function of Adamya Chetana at National College grounds. Adamya Chetana is a non-government organisation providing midday meals to many schools in Bengaluru a few other parts of Karnataka and Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
The minister said the present lifestyle is not only killing people but also spelling doom for the entire planet.

Tropical ecologist Sowmya Prasad urged people in urban areas to stop using plastic.
Many cultural events and a quiz programme marked the event. A warrior drill by an Indian Air Force group was the centre of attraction on the occasion.
