Through ENVIORSCOPE, Harela is taking a step to compile the never documented environmental conditions, especially from the perspective of youth.
The aim is to give a platform where the individuals from every walk of life could bring forth their observations and portray their aspirations regarding environmental issues. We believe such a moderate yet direct step will help in bringing our local environmental issues concerned authorities. The documentaries will involve young minds’ concern, imagination, and aspirations for a better tomorrow. According to Harela, they can see the event as a step towards current environmental scenario from awareness to action paradigm.
