International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer ( CELEBRATED ON 16 SEPTEMBER EVERY YEAR )- Library KV Dappar
International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
The United Nations' (UN) International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is celebrated on September 16 every year. This event commemorates the date of the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987.
What Do People Do?
On this day primary and secondary school educators throughout the world organize classroom activities that focus on topics related to the ozone layer, climate change and ozone depletion. Some teachers use educational packages from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) that have been specifically tailored to address topics about the Earth's ozone layer.
Other activities that are organized by different community groups, individuals, schools and local organizations across the world include: the promotion of ozone-friendly products; special programs and events on saving the ozone layer; the distribution of the UNEP's public awareness posters to be used for events centered on the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer; and the distribution of awards to those who worked hard to protect the Earth's ozone layer.
Public Life
The UN's International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is a global observance and not a public holiday.
Background
In 1987 representatives from 24 countries met in Montreal and announced to the world that it was time to stop destroying the ozone layer. In so doing, these countries committed themselves, via the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, to rid the world of substances that threaten the ozone layer.
On December 19, 1994, the UN General Assembly proclaimed September 16 to be the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date when the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed in 1987. The day was first celebrated on September 16, 1995.
Symbols
Many promotional items used for the day feature images of the Sun, sky, or earth's natural environment to represent the ozone's importance in protecting the environment. Selected winning paintings from the 1998 Children’s Painting Competition, which was part of UNEP’s public awareness campaign at the time, have since been reproduced on posters, calendars, publications, and other material.

Engineer's day 2022 - ( 15.09.2022 ) - KV Dappar
Engineer’s day 2022:
Every year India celebrates National Engineer’s day
on September 15 to recognize and honour the
achievements of the great engineer Mokshagundam
Visvesvaraya. Along with India, Visvesvaraya’s
great works are also celebrated in Sri Lanka and
Tanzania on September 15 as Engineer’s day.
Born on September 15, 1861, in the Muddenahalli
village of Karnataka, Visvesvaraya completed his
school education in his hometown and later on
went to study Bachelor of Arts (BA) at the
University of Madras. He then switched to a
different career path and pursued a diploma
in civil engineering at the College of
Science in Pune.
Popularly known as Sir MV, he undertook
several complex projects and delivered remarkable
infrastructural results during his engineering career.
He patented and installed an irrigation system with
water floodgates at the Khadakvasla reservoir near
Pune to raise the food supply level and storage to
the highest levels known as ‘block system’ in 1903.
The irrigation system was later installed at
Gwalior’s Tigra Dam and Mysuru’s
Krishnaraja Sagara (KRS) dam, the latter of which
created one of the largest reservoirs in
Asia at the time.
Apart from his contributions in the field of
engineering, he was also called the “precursor
of economic planning in India”, according to the
Institution of Engineers India (IEI). His books,
“Reconstructing India” and “Planned Economy
of India” were published in 1920 and 1934,
respectively. He was awarded knight in 1915
while serving as the Diwan of Mysore, and
received Bharat Ratna in 1955.
In 2018, Google launched a Doodle on his
birthday to celebrate his genius works whose
endeavors led to the Tata Steel engineers inventing
an armored vehicle that was used in WWII and
could withstand bullets. Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya
passed away in 1962.
