Litisha Bagadia, a 17-year-old city-based climate activist, has been awarded The Princess Diana Award for her exceptional work in climate action and animal care. In an online ceremony on June 30, she was recognised for pioneering the Ganpati flower waste recycling effort in Mumbai during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, benefiting underprivileged and tribal communities.
Siya manages to balance her college and work life while dedicating more time to her social cause than her studies. She explained, “At every project, I meet new people and understand new behaviours, which are more important than mainstream education in schools and colleges. Children should be taught about green energy.”
