He emphasized the importance of efficiency, human scale, conviviality, an opportunity matrix, balanced movement, and institutional integrity in creating thriving and inclusive urban environments.

The event was part of the annual Sustainability Festival, Harit-Prem Bharat Mahotsav held annually by the Prem Jain Memorial Trust.

He went on to add, “With 351 polluted river stretches and 134 air-polluted cities, the NGT intervenes through suo motu proceedings for effective disposal of cases related to environmental conservation. As guardians of our environment, we must recognize the legal duty to safeguard these resources, preventing their conversion into private ownership. The fight against pollution extends beyond the Ganga cleanup, revealing a stark reality where states like Maharashtra, Assam, and Gujarat contribute significantly to the 351 polluted river stretches, despite their substantial economic contributions.”

“Dr. Prem Jain, visionary behind the Green building movement in India, has not only transformed the landscape of the building industry but has also instilled a powerful vision for India – to ascend as a global beacon in the Sustainable Built Environment. As the esteemed Chairman of the Indian Green Building Council ( IGBC ) since 2007, he tirelessly championed a Greener way of life, laying the foundation for India to emerge triumphantly as the world leader in ‘Green.’ Dr. Jain’s legacy as the ‘Father of Green Buildings’ resonates, inspiring a paradigm shift in the conception and design of buildings worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the future of our planet,” said his daughter, Payal Jain.

“Dedicated to fostering connections between sustainability champions and the youth of Bharat, this occasion marks the convergence of wisdom, literature, and environmental consciousness. Today we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Prem Jain, the visionary ‘Father of Green Buildings,’ and strives towards a greener, more sustainable future for Bharat,” said Renu Jain.

Two noteworthy books were also launched during the event:

1. “PJMT Handbook on Wellness in Educational Institutions”
2. “Subliminal Bridges of Eco-Poetry” – Poetry addressing climate change

WIN is taking forward the concept of sustainability and design on January 28th, at 4:30 PM. In collaboration with Prem Jain’s memorial trust, WIN presents to you an exceptional panel discussion with India’s leading women such as Payal Jain- fashion designer, Green Crusader and founder Trustee PMT, Anju Modi- Eminent Fashion Designer, Angelique Dhama- President marketing-Obeetee and Sumiran Kashyap- divination scholar/ Prose scholar and Stuti Jalan-founder of Women Inspiring Network. The discussion aims to give a new perspective on the challenges the fashion industry faces from a sustainability perspective. Each panellist brings forth a unique perspective to the table.

Anju Modi, recipient of the Filmfare Award in 2016 and the costume designer for Bajirao Mastani and Ram Leela, believes in terms of sustainability it’s important  to “Rejuvenate our ancestral relationship with nature and create fine textile with minimal carbon footprint”

Payal Jain, a fashion designer, is known for creating classic contemporary clothing with modern interpretations says “ In a country like India, with a rich legacy and vast heritage of weaving traditions, embroidery and printing techniques, kept alive for thousands of years, Sustainability is simply about reviving these crafts and traditions, and promoting them through Design with a conscious intention and commitment.

Angelique Dhama, President of Marketing at Obeetee, with over 20 years of experience in luxury retail, says that “it feels great to be associated with a platform such as WIN again, as it’s essential to look at the world of the textile as a means of lifting women. Our Women’s Weavers initiative trains rural Indian women in the art of weaving and provides them with the opportunity to create a sustainable, independent source of income. While sustainability may have varying meanings, sustainable practices are the way forward. Today, it’s important to attempt to include ideas of sustainability in the arena of textile and design. Our carpets last generations and our practices ensure that our environment does too”.

Stuti Jalan, founder- Women Inspiring Network quips “I think sustainability is the future, it’s time to inspire and gain a new perspective to adopt sustainable fashion as a lifestyle. We are really looking forward to taking this conversation to the next level with the best in business in our next collaboration with Prem Jain Memorial Trust”

Sumiran Kashyap, a freelance lifestyle brand writer, believes,  “The contributions women make to the artisanal economy, especially at the grassroots level, are crucial. Many are still unrecognised and underestimated. They set exceptional standards of craftsmanship with unique personal signatures, which only enrich further the craft heritage traditions they identify with intuitively, or practice because it has always been more a way of life. It’s time to integrate their influence with sustainability efforts and give them their due place in the larger context of the industry.”
