Jammu, Sept 16: On the occasion of World Ozone Day, observed every year on September 16th, the Jammu & Kashmir Pollution Control Committee (PCC) organized a special event involving students and teachers from various eco-clubs of schools in Jammu. The theme for this year’s World Ozone Day was “Fixing the ozone layer and reducing climate change.”
The event featured a keynote address by Dr. Shweta Yadav, Senior Assistant Professor at Central University, Jammu, who is also a Fulbright Alumna and member of INYAS. In her talk, she highlighted the success of concerted national and international efforts in the recovery of the ozone layer. Dr. Yadav provided valuable insights into ozone-depleting substances and discussed actions that can be taken to reduce their usage.
