On Earth Day, residents of Vatika City in Sector 49, Gurgaon, Haryana, inaugurated an in-situ composting plant, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability. The event featured a talk by Vineet Vohra, Founder of Give Me Trees Trust, and the opening of a two-day “Aravali Bachao” exhibition. Amitabh Singh, Vice President of the Vatika City Apartment Owners Association, emphasized the necessity of sustainability initiatives in response to the growing pressure on natural resources in Gurgaon. He highlighted the importance of public participation in driving behavior change among community members, particularly children and the elderly. Singh urged residents to act collectively to combat the fragile state of the environment, echoing Mahatma Gandhi's call to 'be the change.' The community is also focusing on principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, implementing measures to conserve water and energy, and promoting the use of green fertilizers.
