“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed” - Mahatma Gandhi

Earth has provided mankind with treasure of natural recourses, scenic beauty, flora and fauna, which are taken for granted by humans who have started exploiting these resources for their own benefit and to fulfill their greed.

We have made a lot of advancement in technology, which is reflected in industrialization, urbanization and globalization. True, we have touched the moon, but in order to protect our nature we have failed. Though political borders divide South Asia but it is one culture. All these detrimental activities can be stopped and mitigated by a united and concerned effect of the people of South Asia together.

University School of Law and Legal Studies is organizing Students’ international Conference on 30th January to 2nd February 2015. The main objective of this conference is to raise awareness among the students and younger generation of South Asia regarding environmental issues, so that they can lead to sustainable development, resulting in harmonious life with nature.

The Significant themes of the conference are as follows:

  • Identifying South Asia Environmental Issues and Concerns.
  • Human Rights Concern and Environment Degradation.
  • Governance and Environment: Legislation and Judicial action.
  • Regulation of Trade, Industry and Environment.
  • Trans boundary cooperation for Environmental Improvement.
  • Impact of poverty on Environment.
  • Sustainable Development and Inter-generational equity.
