Empowering Lakshadweep Islanders with Ocean Training

The Lakshadweep Islands are enhancing resilience against climate change through an inclusive scuba diving training program. Organized by the Young Environmentalists Programme Trust, this initiative trained 80 locals, including those with disabilities, in skills like underwater monitoring and rescue operations. The training promotes ocean literacy and equips islanders to manage disaster situations effectively. Participants now play a crucial role in disaster management and conservation efforts, ensuring a sustainable future for their communities.
