GURUGRAM, May 3, 2025 — On Thursday evening, a vibrant gathering at Sustainable Oasis, nestled beside Roots Café in the Park in Sector 29, marked International Labour Day with a unique blend of worker appreciation and environmental consciousness.

Hosted by the Indian Nurserymen Association (INA) and Sustainable Oasis, the event, held from 5 to 7 p.m., drew dignitaries, artists, and community members to honour the global labour movement while showcasing sustainable creativity.

The celebration underscored the significance of May Day, a day dedicated to recognizing workers’ indispensable role in sustaining economies worldwide. Kalyan Banerjee, a storyteller, captivated attendees with a session tracing the history of Labour Day, weaving inspiring narratives of workers’ resilience and contributions.

“These stories remind us of the human spirit behind every labour,” Banerjee said, as the audience reflected on the day’s global importance.

A highlight of the evening was a Waste Art Exhibition curated by the Van Kanya Art Group, led by director Gauri Srivastava. Artists, including Rajesh Kumar, Rohan, Anu Shri, Sandeep Chaudhary, and Neelu Khanna, transformed horticultural and plastic waste into striking artworks, promoting recycling and sustainability.

The exhibition, a visual testament to eco-conscious innovation, left visitors inspired. “Turning waste into art is our way of advocating for a greener future,” Srivastava said.

Dignitaries in attendance included INA President Y.P. Singh, General Secretary Mukul Tyagi, Joint Secretary Mukesh Sharma, Treasurer C. Gopinath, and other prominent members such as Ghalib Khan, Rafique Khan, Ashok Yadav, and Mehar Alam Khan.

Their presence underscored the event’s role as a platform for community leaders to express gratitude to the working class.

The event also saw participation from groups like Camel and other local organizations, fostering a sense of unity. “This is about celebrating those who build our world and ensuring they are treated with dignity,” said Singh, echoing the global call for fair labour practices.

As the evening unfolded, the celebration served not only as a tribute to workers but also as a reminder of the power of collective action—both in labour and in sustainable practices.

For Gurugram’s residents, it was a moment to reflect on the intertwined goals of social equity and environmental stewardship.
