5-day long Vilakshan Yog camp concluding today: Jammu Kashmir Newspoint

Samba, May 15
Ayurveda - a science of holistic healing has its roots in India and is accepted as alternative medical treatment in West, as well.

The Ayurvedic system of medicine has laid down principles and methods of treatment for various diseases including chronic illnesses where there is no definite curative treatment available otherwise.

'Sanrakshan' - The Nature Conservation Program of DJJS came into being in the year 2003 with an aim of re- establishing the fading symbiotic relationship between Human and Nature. Today the humanity is faced by various environmental concerns interacting and influencing the basic circles of life. By virtue of our longstanding interaction with diverse communities across India, we have recognized that an environmental issue is unique in cause and effect in each area. This unique dynamics often goes unidentified by those who are most affected by it. Sanrakshan acknowledges these nuances and strives to enable individual actors to observe their life in relation to the larger issues and take preventive and corrective action to reach to sustainable solutions.

DJJS particiaptes for the cause: Earth Hour 2010 aims to surpass last year's target

As cities world over switch off lights for one hour tomorrow in an attempt to create more awareness about climate change, the WWF exuded optimism about Earth Hour 2010 initiative in India saving more energy than last year.

"Of all sectors, the power sector solely contributes a whopping 50 per cent to India's total carbon emission. Under the Earth Hour initiative people are motivated to switch off their lights and electrical appliances from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm on March 27.

This is a measure to instill awareness about depleting climatic conditions on Earth," says Aarti Khosla, Campaign Manager, World Wide Fund India.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called Earth Hour "both a warning and a beacon of hope."

"Climate change is a concern for each of us. Solutions are within our grasp and are ready to be implemented by individuals, communities, businesses and governments around the globe," Ban said in a statement.

The United Nations will be joining will join the initiative along with many other landmarks around the world.

However, several other groups in India have also shown a keen interest on the occasion in creating awareness in the masses regarding the dire need to preserve natural resources.

"Climate change is a discrepancy created by persistent human exploitation. Hence, its cure lies only in a consistent and united human initiative...individual awareness and action is the key to combat climate change," says Aditi Mehndiratta, head 'Sanrakshan', nature conservation initiative of an NGO.

"The NGO has inspired lakhs of beneficiaries not only in India but across the globe to switch all their lights and electrical appliances. Along with this our followers would also sit in divine meditation on Earth Hour and pray for the strength of Mother Earth," adds Mehndiratta.

At the British Council High Commission in India, environmental films will be screened a day prior to the Earth Hour. "A film screening and photo exhibition is being organised in order to sensitise our staff and their family about the depleting state of environment. Apart from this, office lighting would be turned off from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm," says Dan Chugg, spokesperson of the Commission in India.
