Ranchi, Jan. 4: Two students of Jharkhand State Bal Bhavan, Rishabh Raj of St Thomas School and Mohit Kumar Gupta of Holy Child School, left for New Delhi today to take part in the National Young Environment-alist Conference to be held from January 6 to 10.

Both children have prepared detailed projects on sustainable cities, which they will present at the conference being organised by National Bal Bhavan, Delhi, in which 300 children from across the country will participate.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Rishabh, a class IX stu- dent of St Thomas School, said he had prepared a project highlighting the problems being faced by the state capital, like little space for dumping waste, loss of greenery and pollution.

“I have also suggested a solution for the energy cri-sis, water crisis and generation of bio-gas energy to make our city sustainable in future. I would like to see if the ideas are put into practice,” he said.

Mohit Gupta, a student of Class VIII of Holy Child School, said: “Our city has not developed economically and socially much over the years. Residents should display some civic sense.”
