Sustainability sets the boundary between exploring and exploiting resources. Sustainability itself is a futuristic concept and our team believes that futuristic ideas are established only through education. Education paves the road to a sustainable environment. It is crucial to analyze if the resources are used how they are supposed to be used. Thus, education and awareness programs play a vital role in being an eye opener to discussions concerning environment and sustainability. Hence, Arpan has been giving its undivided attention towards education and awareness drives to encourage people into practicing sustainability.
