Talir, a school-level natural resources awareness campaign, was organised by the Kerala State Land Use Board at the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Pattom, on Friday.

Inaugurating the campaign, K. Muraleedharan, MLA, called for a development strategy that also protected the environment. Big development projects were replacing the green cover of the Earth. There must be a conscious effort to increase the green cover by planting saplings of trees and plants, he said.

Logo released

He also released the logo of the campaign at the function.

Speaking on the occasion, magician Gopinath Muthukad called upon the children to embrace nature.
