It acquainted the delegates about the harmful effects of genetically modified food, crops and artificially lab hybrid plants on humans and environment. To add more, students experienced the life of a farmer and the hardships they face. Barazzas ascertained that ‘It’s we who have to change the present; as we cannot change the past; but, certainly we can make a difference for a better future’. Cultural presentation from all the participating schools, followed by DJ was a satisfying treat for everyone present. Meeting delegates from 11 renowned schools around the country gave a wonderful opportunity to create a lifelong bonding with them.
