    Jagran.com Hindi news portal, has concluded the ‘Jagran Green Warrior Challenge’ to celebrate World Nature Conservation Day. The campaign was launched to bring awareness to readers via a community-building initiative about nature conservation and the growing impact of climate change. The online initiative was driven by Jagran Connect, a community engagement platform that engages users through various empowering initiatives.

     

    The 3-day campaign ran from July 26–28 and invited participants to a series of exciting challenges to support nature conservation. The activities brought crucial environmental issues to the forefront by encouraging sustainable practices that can be widely executed for society at large. The campaign received an overwhelming response, reaching a diverse audience and inspiring individuals to reflect on their ecological footprint and thus take action.

     

    Said Rajesh Upadhyay, Editor-in-Chief and Sr. Vice President, Jagran New Media: “With this effective community-building initiative, we inspired a profound sense of responsibility towards issues like climate change, resource depletion, loss of biodiversity, etc. The success of this initiative reaffirms our belief in the power of collective action and motivates us to organize more purposeful campaigns through Jagran Connect. Our readers are the most important to us, and this is our attempt to connect with them through issues that matter the most.”

     

    The campaign highlighted three key aspects: ecological conservation, simple sustainable practices, and plastic pollution. The participants were asked to plant a sapling in their locality and share it on Jagran’s website or social media platforms. To encourage more engagement, they were also invited to share different ideas and practices to save the environment. The campaign came to an end with a successful plastic eradication drive.

    Jagran.com has launched a new citizen connect initiative – My City, My Pride – to measure and drive development of cities through public participation. The key objective of the campaign is to produce data-driven insights that will help raise citizen awareness and generate ideas of change through collaboration leading to an actionable plan for development of cities.

     

    During the first stage, the programme will invite citizens to score their respective cities across five fundamental pillars – health, infrastructure, economy, education and safety. These scores will be analysed by knowledge partners – KPMG and ICFJ, along with Jagran’s editorial teams. Towards the end of this stage, a City Liveability Survey Report will be published in partnership with KPMG.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the new campaign, Apurva Purohit, President – Jagran Prakashan Ltd. Said: “Being cognisant of our responsibility to be enablers of change, with this initiative we aim to provide robust data driven insights and help solve civic problems at a local level. The idea is to encourage city development in an interactive way through public participation – since no one knows a city better than its citizens. We hope that this platform will act as a catalyst for change by bringing together citizens and administrators, thereby forming communities that identify core issues and develop solutions for a better city”

     

    Added Bharat Gupta, CEO, Jagran New Media: “As a media organisation, we are the voice of the people, and so we want to provide them a platform where they raise their concerns and we can find a solution to their problems in a collaborative way. My City, My Pride is one such initiative from Jagran New Media, where we are engaging users using online and offline mediums and enable action through user participation.”
