10,000 students light up self made solar lamps |
Hundreds of school students attempted to make a world record by lighting solar lamps as part of the Global Student Solar Assembly in New Delhi on Mahatma Gandhi`s 150th birth anniversary on Wednesday. Two Guinness world records were also attempted during this event -- sustainability lessons to the largest number of participants at a single place and largest number of solar lamps lit together. As part of the `Student Solar Ambassador` programme, a collective effort by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy and the Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, students undertook a pledge to dedicate the International Day of Non-Violence to the environment.
