Vedic culture championed sustainability: Vice Prez

Sirsi, May 5 (UNI) Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday said India's ancient civilisational ethos and Vedic culture have long championed sustainable living, adding that this wisdom holds the key to addressing modern ecological challenges.
"This land is a confluence of spirituality and sustainability. Sustainability is not just vital for the economy—it is vital for healthy living. Our Vedic culture has preached sustainability for thousands of years,” he said, addressing students and faculty of the College of Forestry during a special programme on the Role of Forestry in Nation Building.
Cautioning against reckless exploitation of natural resources, the Vice-President said, “There is no alternative to sustainable development,” and stressed the urgent need to shift from consumption-driven practices to environmentally responsible stewardship.
