World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment. The theme selected for 2006 is 'Deserts and Desertification' and the slogan is 'Don't Desert Drylands!'

In West Bengal, World Environment Day was adorned with colourful activities like sit-and-draw competition and quiz competition involving children at Netaji Indoor Stadium, Kolkata. On June 4, children of three different age-groups between six and 16 years participated in a sit-and-draw competition, whereas children up to 16 years of age took part in a quiz competition. These two events, organised in association with Pashchim Banga Vigyan Mancha (PBVM), were aimed to generate environmental awareness among children. Also, at the same ceremony at Netaji Indoor Stadium, prizes were given to the winners of these competitions held this year as well as last year.Shri Mohanta Chatterjee (Hon'ble Minister-in-charge, Departments of Environment, Food Processing &Horticulture, Government of West Bengal) was present during the prize-distribution ceremony to encourage the winners. Shri Suvaprasanna, eminent painter and Shri Sankar Chakraborty and Shri Satyajit Chakraborty of PBVM were also present during the prize-distribution ceremony. In short, the celebrations of the World Environment Day 2005 in the state reflected the underlying objective of providing a clean and safe environment for the future welfare of our state.
