From about 15000 visitors in two days, approximately 80% visited our exhibition stall as we were positioned at the entrance. Despite being out of printed materials on the second day, visitors were keen to take note of our website to learn more about Sikkim’s environmental initiatives and its status.

On interacting with the visitors about 95% agreed that our environment is at great concern and we should act on it. They even signed on the environment pledge. Rest 5% believed that our mother nature can revive by itself and we human can hardly do anything but face the consequences.
