Hundreds of children visited Centre for Environment Education (CEE) and participated in activities such as games with green messages, pottery workshop, tattoo and face painting and so on. Shikha Agarwal, a class VI student and one of the visitors, said that she spotted a number of new tree species on the campus and also understood how fragile the ecological balance of food pyramid is through games. "Even insects are important and are important markers of air quality. I have taken pledge not to litter or waste food," she said.

Science City had organized a seminar on climate change and sustainable development where students and teachers from across the state had participated.
