The event witnessed an overwhelming participation of students, startups, ecosystem partners, investors, academia, policymakers, and citizens, all united by one cause — to walk together for the climate and pledge for a sustainable future.

The morning felt almost divinely aligned with the movement — a light drizzle on and off, cool breeze, and fresh energy in the air, setting the perfect stage for climate warriors to come together.

His words resonated strongly with the youth, motivating them to adopt climate-conscious habits as a way of life.

More than 200 participants including students from St. Kabir School Chandigarh, DPS Chandigarh, Dass & Brown School Panchkula, PEC Chandigarh, and several other schools & colleges joined the walk.
