IMPHAL, Feb 3: The Centre for Research on Environmental Development (CRED) has been awarded the “Green Globe Foundation Awards for Outstanding Contribution by an NGO for the year 2012” in a ceremony held at the Taj Palace, New Delhi on February 2.
The Green Globe for Outstanding Contribution by an NGO seeks to applaud the noble efforts of organizations like CRED which are equipped with short supply of resources, NGOs which perform selfless work at the grass root level on critical issues of environmental degradation, generating mass awareness on pollution-related issues, mobilizing local communities in sustained high-pitched campaigns, engaging in legal activism through public interest litigation, thus forming the very backbone of the green movement in the country.
