Dear all,
The Vice President of India Mohd. Hamid Ansari presented the awards for ‘Dr. Mahbub Ul Haq Memorial SAARC Inter-School Debate Competition’ at a function here today. The topic of the Debate was the ‘Global warming and climate change’. He presented the winner trophy to the team of Pakistan and the runner of trophy to the team of India. The Best speaker (For) award was presented to Mr. Prerak Pradhan of Nepal and the Best speaker (Against) award was presented to Mohd. Aeeal Hasan of Maldives. The function was jointly organized by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Contemporary Studies.
Addressing on the occasion, the Vice President said that the debate was named after a person who was a man of great vision and was concerned with the security for all. Expressing his concerns on the deteriorating environmental conditions he said that we are confronted with the problems of extraordinary dimensions. All these problems are due to our own doing. He cautioned that the nature has acute sense of balance and if we disturb the balance, humankind will have to face the consequences.
Congratulating the winners of the debate, the Vice President said that today the awareness among the masses about these important issues is inadequate and he hoped that these winners will spread the right message.
Regards,
Rashedul Hasan Stalin
