Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla wished everyone a happy Holi, highlighting the festival’s significance as a celebration of colors, joy, and unity. He emphasized that Holi symbolizes love, faith, and positivity that can overcome any challenges, promoting equality and togetherness by breaking down barriers of discrimination. Birla encouraged spreading love, peace, and harmony in society, especially to those in need, to make the festival more inclusive and meaningful.
The Environment Ministry organized workshops to promote eco-friendly Holi celebrations, teaching students how to make natural colors from vegetables like beetroot, turmeric, and fresh leafy greens. These workshops, part of the Environment Education Programme, aim to encourage safe and sustainable festivities without harmful chemicals, aligning with Mission LiFE for environmental protection. Mission LiFE, initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, advocates for sustainable habits to protect the environment and reduce waste, energy consumption, and single-use plastics.
