The journey was started by Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, ( Former President f India ) On the 24th of July 2010 . One this date, the environmentalist of our country decided to start an organization in India which is a platform for encouraging children to become Paryavaran MITRA ( meaning Environment friend ) and take green initiative in their locality ,society etc.

This platform had recently celebrated its third birth day and I feel privileged to be attending their celebration .Paryavaran MITRA had invited children for a four days workshop and there the birthday was celebrated.

Who is a Paryavaran Mitra?
A Paryavaran Mitra (Friend of Environment), demonstrates environmental citizenship qualities through positive change in behaviour and action at individual, school, family and community levels.

Not only students, but also teachers, principals, parents, whole schools and all those who demonstrate these qualities become Paryavaran Mitra.
