Biological diversity resources are the pillars upon which we build civilizations.  Over 80 percent of the human diet is provided by plants. As many as 80 per cent of people living in rural areas in developing countries rely on traditional plant‐based medicines for basic healthcare.

While there is a growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to future generations, the number of species is being significantly reduced by certain human activities

The quiz questionnaires will be based on ‘Biodiversity Conservation’, the practice of protecting and preserving the wealth and variety of species, habitats, ecosystems, and genetic diversity on the planet, which is important for our health, wealth, food, fuel, and services..

Top 15 Winners of the competition will be given an attractive goody bag along with Certificate and will also get an opportunity to celebrate World Environment Day at ANDC College which will witness a film screening, Panel discussion and Award Ceremony on June 3, 2022 from 11 am to 12;30 pm.
