Eco-Conscious Living is the Grammar of Sustainability: Dr Birbal Jha
New Delhi, 9 June 2025: British Lingua, a leading institution in English communication and personality development, marked World Environment Day 2025 with a thought-provoking seminar on the theme “Eco-Conscious Living: A Lifestyle or a Responsibility?” Held at its New Delhi campus, the event brought together learners, trainers, environmental advocates, and language enthusiasts to deliberate on the urgent call for ecological responsibility.
At the heart of the gathering was the towering presence of Dr Birbal Jha — acclaimed environmentalist, sociolinguist, and popularly hailed as the Youngest Living Legend of Mithila. Under the banner of his transformative campaign, “Viksit Bharat, Viksit Bihar”, Dr Jha continues to fuse education with social consciousness to drive meaningful change across India.
Setting the tone for the seminar, Dr Jha delivered a stirring message:
“Living in harmony with nature is not a choice but a commitment to life itself.”
His address underscored the critical need to transcend environmental awareness and adopt active, daily practices that prioritise sustainability. With characteristic eloquence, he observed:
“Eco-consciousness begins where selfishness ends and responsibility begins,”
calling on citizens to reflect on their ecological footprint.Blending linguistic metaphor with environmental advocacy, Dr Jha remarked:
“Eco-conscious living is the grammar of sustainability — fluency in it is vital for the survival of our species.”The phrase became a thematic anchor for the day’s discussions, which explored the climate crisis, land degradation, and depletion of natural resources. Participants quoted Dr Jha to emphasise the power of individual action:
“Every act of eco-kindness today is an investment in tomorrow’s survival.”As the seminar progressed, the dialogue deepened into reflections on environmental ethics, cultural attitudes towards consumption, and the role of education in shaping eco-responsible citizens. The session concluded on an inspirational note, with Dr Jha’s heartfelt appeal resonating across the room:
“Let us not inherit a wounded world, but nurture a living legacy for the generations to come.”
In reaffirming its educational mission, British Lingua committed to weaving sustainability into its pedagogy — not just to build communication skills, but to nurture environmentally aware, socially responsible individuals.The seminar ended with a collective pledge by all present to uphold eco-conscious values in their personal and professional lives — echoing Dr Birbal Jha’s enduring vision of a developed India through a developed Bihar.
