As part of its World Environment Day celebrations, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) launched a series of creative competitions and public awareness initiatives aimed at promoting environmental protection and sustainability. A quiz and painting competition for school children was organized at Jubilee Hall, Koyla Nagar, attracting enthusiastic participation from more than 150 students from various schools across the city.
The program was conducted in two sessions. The first session featured a quiz competition for students from Classes V to XII, where participants showcased their knowledge of environmental conservation, climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable development through a series of multiple-choice questions.
The second session comprised a painting competition, in which students were divided into different age groups to express their understanding of environmental issues through art. Children in Group A (Classes II to V) creatively depicted various themes related to nature and environmental conservation. Participants in Group B conveyed the message of environmental stewardship through paintings based on the theme “Our Earth, Our Future.” Students in Group C (Classes VI to IX) demonstrated their awareness and creativity on the concept of the Three Rs — Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse, highlighting the importance of sustainable living practices.
Throughout the event, students displayed remarkable enthusiasm and awareness regarding environmental protection. Through their paintings and quiz responses, the participants effectively communicated the significance of preserving natural resources, maintaining a clean environment, and adopting eco-friendly lifestyles.
BCCL has been consistently organizing such creative and awareness-oriented programs every year on the occasion of World Environment Day, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. The events witness active participation from BCCL employees, their families, school children, and members of the local community.
This year, BCCL has scheduled several additional activities focusing on environmental conservation and climate change awareness. Upcoming events include essay writing competitions, green cooking contests, and fancy eco-dress competitions.
The winners of all competitions will be announced and felicitated during BCCL’s main World Environment Day celebration on June 5, 2026, where they will receive awards and certificates in recognition of their efforts.
A large number of parents, along with officials and employees of BCCL’s Environment Department, were present during the event and appreciated the active participation and environmental consciousness displayed by the young students.
