Project
On 5 April 2012, Mast. Hridith Sudev along with Samved Shaji founded an organization mainly based in Salalah, Oman which is completely managed by kids, the Project Greenworld International. Within a week this organization initiated its first project, Project GreenOman, which won the World Environment Day Global School Contest conducted by the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. This organization is one among the few organizations founded by kids to get an international recognition. Hridith Sudev and Samved Shaji were officially declared as the representatives of Oman to Rio+20 on July 22, 2012. On June 5, 2014, International Energy Globe Award, Austria declared Project GreenOman as Oman's best project for sustainability and PRGROM became Oman's National winner for Energy Globe Awards 2014[5] [3]
This Project was made by involving many volunteers and members. The project focused on five environmental issues and was divided into six sectors to make the result better-
- Global Warming & Climate change
- Ecosystem Conservation
- Recycling and Waste management
- Green buildings
- Water Conservation
- Spreading awareness about the need to Conserve Nature.[7]
