Chief Executive of Thar Education Alliance and organizer of the festival, Partab Shivani, expressed that the theme of this festival is climate change and youth empowerment. He stated that the main reason to prioritize this area for the festival is that Sujawal is a climate victim, having faced floods, cyclones, and other devastating disasters. Additionally, it ranks last in district education. We are making efforts to mitigate these problems and adapt to the challenges of climate change through steam-based learning and youth empowerment. Such a festival will enhance the knowledge and abilities of children, surely aiding them in their education.
The festival will be inaugurated by the Deputy Commissioner of Sujawal.
