Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has agreed to be the national green ambassador to initiate eco-friendly campaigns in India, environment and forests minister Jairam Ramesh announced on Monday
Dressed in a burnt orange dress, Priyanka said: "I will be very happy to do so."
Also present were Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief RK Pachauri, NDTV chairman Prannoy Roy and officials from Toyota.
Pachauri told Priyanka: "You must be a part of the national movement for river cleaning, so that one day we can swim in the Ganga without any pollution."
Priyanka said it was small efforts by individuals that go a long way in keeping the surroundings clean and green.
"I would never want that my children or grandchildren don't see forests or not go for picnics in gardens. People should not throw tissues and garbage on the streets. Small things do make a difference," she said.
