Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 19: A jewel of a place tucked away in Uttar Pradesh marked a historic milestone this November by celebrating its 200th anniversary with the grand Bijnor Mahotsav. The festival brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, from local communities and government officials to conservationists, all united by a shared vision. With active participation from The Art of Living Social Projects, the event sought to promote a sustainable tourism model that not only showcases the region's natural wealth but also preserves its ecological integrity. The world renowned humanitarian and spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, "Sustainable development is that which keeps in mind the long-term effects and benefits of any program. Ravaging natural resources without a long-term vision will destroy the ecology, which is the very source of life."
