Parvaah, in association with Inkpot India, had organized a zero-waste conclave on 18th November at Ambassador Hotel, Khan Market, New Delhi. The event was aimed at boosting the popularity of Indian art, literature and culture and it proved to be a grand success. We took special care to ensure that water was served in paper cups at the conclave and plastic cups were not used. Also, the stage backdrop was made of canvas cloth and not plastic; later bags were made from this cloth and distributed among the underprivileged. The event was inaugurated by Honourable Prahlad Singh Patel Ji, MoS, Ministry of Culture and Tourism along with Hon`ble Ramdas Athawale Ji, MoS, Social Justice and Empowerment, Honourable Shyam Jaju Ji, National Vice President, BJP,  Mr. Akhilesh Mishra, Director GeneraI, ICCR and Dr. Sachidanand Joshi, MS IGNCA at 10 am.  Dr Shashi Tharoor was our Chief Guest at the Valedictory Session. All dignitaries present on the occasion appreciated our efforts towards making the event zero-waste and especially for doing our bit to reduce plastic pollution.
