Rajendra Bhanawat (IAS), Trustee, Foundation for Education and Development, says, “I led Rajasthan’s literacy campaign with a million youth volunteers and saw how change truly happens. I urge young leaders to engage communities with humility, learn from our heritage, model climate-positive habits, and pressure policymakers. Act daily, reflect often, and make climate action a public mandate”.
