Dr Shukla spoke on emission of Green House emissions, the damage to ozone layer and global warming. Expressing concern, he said that while speaking of environment protection, the process of industrialisation would have to be kept in mind as most of them involve polluting elements.

Dr Ram Prasad lauded the idea to hold the seminar. He said  without awareness on environment protection, our education is not complete. The imbalanced weather pattern, increasing population and decreasing forest cover is causing rise in level of carbon dioxide and leading to natural disasters. He emphasised on pollution control and increased tree plan.

Dr N C Agrawal emphasised tree plantation and ban on polythene and making a beginning in this direction at personal level. The welcome address was delivered and mementoes to guests presented by vice-principal Dr Indira Nayar while convener of seminar Dr Charanjit Kaur proposed the vote of thanks.
