We are proud to present the First Edition (2025–26) of our Centre’s Annual Magazine, Paryavaran Chetna. On this special occasion, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our Chief Editor, Dr. Bipan Chand Rathore, Co-Editor KM Alka, Dr. Bittu Thakur, and Rakeshwar Kapoor for their dedication, guidance, and valuable contributions in making this publication a reality. Despite the limited time available, every effort was made to ensure that the magazine is scientifically informative, meaningful, and relevant. This inaugural edition marks an important milestone for our Centre. While we have tried our best to produce a quality publication within the available resources and timeframe, we are committed to making future editions even more professional, comprehensive, and impactful. I would also like to sincerely thank all the contributors who shared their valuable articles and insights for this magazine. A special note of appreciation goes to Dr. Vineet Jishtu for his significant contribution and support in enriching this publication. We hope that our readers will appreciate this collective effort and continue to encourage us as we work towards promoting environmental awareness, conservation, and sustainable development through future editions of Paryavaran Chetna. Thank you for your support and encouragement. “Today’s Conservation, Tomorrow’s Security.” “Aaj Ka Sanrakshan, Kal Ki Suraksha.”
