MP: Nat'l seminar to bring out draft Simhastha declaration

Issues concerning global warming and climate change will be discussed at a seminar being organised here by the state government on November 21 in a prelude to the 2016 Simhastha Kumbh fair.
"The seminar will be inaugurated by Sri Sri Ravishankar and External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj is scheduled to grace the concluding function in November 22," MP and chairman of Organising Committee Anil Madhav Dave told reporters today.
He said a draft paper for preparing the Simhastha Declaration will be issued during the two-day event.
"The Simhastha Declaration will be issued during the month-long religious fair in 2016 in Ujjain. It will not only highlight the problem but also offer solutions to the vexed issue of global warming and climate change," Dave said, adding that the final declaration will have solutions based on age-old Indian traditions which are being recognised even by the West.

A total of 15 sessions will be held during the seminar which will be attended by national and international experts on environment, besides those working at the ground level.
