In a bid to promote environmental awareness among the youth, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) will organise a series of drawing and essay writing competitions for school children as part of the World Environment Day 2025 celebrations. The event will take place at the Jawahar Bal Bhavan in Cubbon Park, Bengaluru, on June 3.

This year’s theme is ‘Ending Plastic Pollution’, aligning with global efforts to tackle one of the most pressing environmental challenges. The competitions are open to students from primary, middle, and high schools.

While students from all three categories can participate in the drawing competition, the essay writing contest is specifically reserved for high school students.

The event is scheduled in two sessions: primary and middle school competitions will be held from 10 a.m. to 11.30 a.m., while high school students will compete from 12 noon.

Winners from each category will be honoured during the World Environment Day function on June 5, which will be held at Tripura Vasini, Gate No. 2, Palace Grounds, Ballari Road.
