A conscious effort has
been initiated over the last few years to enhance
people’s awareness on various issues of
social importance like environment
protection, conservation of biodiversity, preservation
of cultural heritage through observance of Banabibi
Utsav, observance of Sundarban Dibas, promotion of
Swechhasram activities. NGOs of excellence and P. R.
Institutions in the region have also been involved in
the overall activities of the board to optimize the
output.
Here comes the importance of conservation aspects, which
include the conservation of
the existing portfolio of development assets like
natural resources, social and physical
assets including human resources necessary to manage the
resources. Sundarban
Development Board strongly believes that conservation is
people based, as nature
responds to human behavior. The rightful target of
conservation plans is, therefore, the subset of human
behaviors that need to be supported. As such
conservation targets not
the resources but does target the inappropriate human
behaviors towards resources.
Considering this important issue, S.D. Board has since
been taking up different
programmes to generate awareness amongst the people to
conserve and save
Sundarban. Sundarban Development Board celebrates two
major events like Banabibi
Utsab
and Sundarban Day. |
