Mr. Mittal simply defined and explained the environmental concerns that have been the focal point of much deliberations since the last few decades. Such issues have become glaringly global and innately conspicuous in the pandemic times. Along with Covid 19 and its myriad consequences, one must not lose sight of the lasting impact of global climate change and certain vector borne diseases especially Dengue that require immediate attention.

The talk concluded by outlining the simple measures we humans can take to prevent local as well as global environmental crises.
