The new generation, which strictly adheres to the law and embraces environmental protection as a core responsibility, is the true hope of society, Forest Minister Shibu Baby John said on Saturday.

He added that students would be actively involved in all upcoming environmental protection initiatives. During the ceremony, the Minister distributed prizes to cadets who delivered outstanding performances.
