A Greener You Bengaluru Bengaluru
Bengaluru Eco Summit is an annual concourse of like-minded citizens
and students of Bengaluru who aspire to be the solution to today's
problems and restore the glory of the city we call 'home', while
simultaneously moving forward.
Growth is an essential characteristic of any living system. The same
applies to the living, breathing city of Bengaluru. This city achieves
growth every single day in multiple avenues, providing bountiful
opportunities to anyone who recognises the endless potential it has. But
growth of such magnitude often comes at the cost of the environment.
With this year's summit we hope to find innovative ideas to minimize this
cost, where development can occur sustainably, without causing
destruction- directly or indirectly - to collectively shape a Bengaluru
that's more sustainable, livable and ultimately happier.

fostering a sustainable urban landscape, making this panel instrumental in charting a
green and resilient future for the city.
Ancient India’s approach to Sustainability

Organizers
Haritvam- a Greener You, is a forum of Yuvaka Sangha intended to promote
young ambassadors of a greener today. In the contemporary world where
everyone is rightly aware of what eco-friendly is, mere ones rightly follow it
into action. For a paradigm shift in the behavior of people towards the
environment, and to get them into action, eco-consciousness plays a vital role.
Haritvam indulges young minds in deep-rooted awareness with a space to
make a green switch in their holistic sense and furthermore, evolve into
individuals that not just discuss problems but pose solutions.
