World Environment Day (WED) is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment and enhancing political attention and action.

World Environment Day is held each year on June 5. Over the years, it has grown to be a broad, global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated by stakeholders in over 100 countries. It also serves as the “people’s day” for doing something positive for the environment, galvanizing individual actions into a collective power that generates an exponential positive impact on the planet.

SI Madurai proposes to celebrate World Environment Day by conducting a one-day environmental protection awareness program.
