Speaking as the chief guest, Karam Shyam maintained that the youths of the State have a major role to play towards the development of the State and they should make earnest efforts to achieve the cause in this era of competitions.
He also expressed belief that the attendees must have benefited considerably from the awareness cum workshop programme and appealed to all attendees to put into practice the knowledge gained from this programme for the welfare of all.
Dr Usham Deben while speaking as the guest of honour expressed concern on the rising rate of pollution in the State which has comparatively less industries and vehicles with respect to other States.
Amid such an alarming situation, the conduct of such a programme which focuses on use of electric vehicles to reduce pollution is pertinent, he added.
