NLCO lays foundation for Green House at Khimber

Srinagar, Jun 5: On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Nigeen Lake Conservation Organisation (NLCO) reaffirmed its commitment to “action over words” by laying the foundation of Green Houses at Khimber, Srinagar, to promote sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

The event was organized in collaboration with Bilaliya Educational Institute (BEI) and witnessed enthusiastic participation from hundreds of school students, teachers, and academicians.

Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Mushtaq Margoob graced the event as the Chief Guest and formally inaugurated the green house foundation.

Manzoor Wangnoo, Chairman of NLCO and BEI, highlighted the importance of such practical initiatives. He stated,

“This green house, once completed, will contribute to boosting horticulture and floriculture activities in the area. This is a step towards empowering youth by opening up alternate economic avenues beyond traditional sectors like tourism. It will also help our students reconnect with nature in meaningful ways.”

Dr Margoob lauded this pragmatic step by NLCO and appreciated Wangnoo’s dedication towards environmental restoration and awareness, especially at a time when communities need to explore sustainable alternatives in agriculture and allied fields.

The programme concluded with a collective pledge by the students and attendees to promote eco-consciousness, adopt sustainable practices, and work together for a greener, cleaner Kashmir.
