Embassy of India marks World Environment Day 2025 in Kathmandu

Kathmandu: The Embassy of India has organized an event on the occasion of World Environment Day 2025 on the theme ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’.

Minister of Forest and Environment of Nepal, Ain Bahadur Shahi Thakuri, participated in the event.

Minister Thakuri, along with the Ambassador of India to Nepal, planted saplings inside the Embassy premises, along with the students of Kendriya Vidyalaya Kathmandu.

India has always had a deep respect for nature. As the Atharva Veda says, “The Earth is our mother and we are her children.”

This belief has been part of our way of life for centuries. Over the last 11 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this ancient wisdom has been turned into strong and practical action. India has moved from being a follower in global climate efforts to becoming a leader.

Through clear policies, public participation, and a strong push for clean energy and sustainability, the government is working to build a greener, healthier, and more secure future for everyone.
