APG University Collaborates with Shimla Forest Division to Celebrate 75th Wildlife Week

APG University, in collaboration with the Shimla Forest Division Rural, marked the 75th National Wildlife Week with a special event held at the university campus on October 6, 2025. This significant effort is a great way to change the mindset of young people about wildlife conservation and environmental protection.

Students were eager to participate in different activities that aimed at teaching and motivation. The most important one was a speech competition based on the topic Single Use Plastic - A Threat to the Environment. The event motivated students to be proactive activists of plastic pollution and become responsible in nature protection.

Wildlife Week is celebrated every year on the 2nd to 8th October all over India to raise awareness of the need to conserve the rich biodiversity of the country. The 75th edition this year also saw the tradition of involving young people in conservation activities, emphasizing that education is key to a cleaner and greener future.

The program of APG University aligns with the national goal of empowering communities to become the custodians of wildlife and the environment. The university hopes that this might lead to the students' creativity, responsibility and lifetime commitment to conserve wildlife and the natural habitats.

“Your voice matters. Your actions matter. Be a part of the change!” stated the university’s message which encouraged students and the community to engage in environmental conservation.

As the country marks this critical week, APG University and Shimla Forest Division’s collaboration serves as a valuable example of how institutions can inspire the next generation to care for nature and wildlife.
