The Movement

The world is changing faster than ever. Yet within this moment of crisis lives an extraordinary force – The Youth; the trailblazers, who have the power to redefine a sustainable future. Youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the changemakers of today. .

As a prelude to the 18th GRIHA Summit, GRIHA Council proudly announces this year's theme - P.R.A.N: Powering Responsible Action for a New World - rooted in determination and decisive action.

Through P.R.A.N, schools and students step onto a platform where creativity transforms into action, ideas evolve into solutions, and individual voices join a larger movement to safeguard our ecosystem.

Vision:
Sensitize young minds through engaging, fun, and impactful activities; to prepare the next generation of climate champions; and prove that environmental action is not a burden, but an opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and thrive.
