Earth Hour To Celebrate Its 20th Anniversary
Established in 2007, Earth Hour has grown from just a symbolic light-off moment to the world’s largest environmental movement. The celebration involves millions of people coming together and joining the global switch-off for Earth Hour by switching off all non-essential lights. Earth Hour celebrates two decades of impact this year while promoting the need to address the increasing climate crisis. The Archaeological Survey of India, a government agency responsible for archaeological research and the preservation of historical monuments, confirmed the participation of all ASI-protected monuments across India.
