New Delhi, 18^th March 2025 – The World Wide Fund for Nature – India (WWF-India) is celebrating the convergence of Earth Hour 2025 with World Water Day this year on March 22^nd, to emphasise the importance of collective action for the conservation of the planet and its precious water resources. In addition to bringing together millions to Switch Off and create The Biggest Hour for Earth, this year, WWF-India is inspiring individuals to #BeWaterWise in all aspects of their lives—throughout the year.

Dia Mirza, actor and UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador; Shantanu Moitra, celebrated music composer and WWF-India’s Hope & Harmony Ambassador; Viswanathan Anand, Chess Grandmaster and Education Ambassador, WWF-India; Ranveer Brar, Indian celebrity chef; Sudarsan Pattnaik, a world-renowned Indian sand artist and Padma Shri Awardee; Ricky Kej, Grammy-winning Indian musical composer and environmentalist; and Taba Chake, a Nyishi singer-songwriter from Arunachal Pradesh, are among the voices that have joined the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement.

In 2025, participants are encouraged not only to “Switch Off” but also to align with the theme #BeWaterWise, which underscores the importance of water conservation and sustainable practices. In India, where 1.4 billion people share just 4% of the world’s freshwater, the need for action is urgent. Estimates from Wetlands International (WI) indicate that nearly two of every five wetlands in India have lost their natural existence in the last 30 years, while 40% of water bodies have lost quality for the survival of aquatic life. This year’s World Water Day theme, Glacier Preservation, highlights the critical role glaciers play in supporting nearly two billion people who depend on meltwater for drinking, agriculture, and energy. Alarmingly, climate change, accelerated by human activity, caused glaciers to lose over 600 gigatons of water in 2023—the largest mass loss in five decades—contributing significantly to rising sea levels, now 20 cm higher than in 1900.

Sharing his thoughts, Mr Ravi Singh, Secretary-General and CEO of WWF-India, said, “Every year, Earth Hour brings together millions of people across India – and around the world – in a symbolic act of switching off lights for the planet. This year, its alignment with World Water Day has given us an opportunity to drive collective action for water conservation. I thank all our Earth Hour Water Ambassadors, dignitaries and supporters for gracing the Earth Hour Festival and lending their support to this event.”

The Earth Hour Festival 2025, to be held from 2pm to 7pm on March 22 at WWF-India’s Delhi office, will celebrate the #BeWaterWise campaign, combining music, art, architecture, and meaningful discussions on conservation. Renowned musician Shantanu Moitra will share stories from his journey along the Ganga River and perform some songs with Nyishi singer-songwriter Taba Chake from Arunachal Pradesh, who will use music to highlight his community’s connection with nature. An engaging discussion on how water shapes stories and spaces will take place among Tarana Sawhney (Chairperson, Confederation of Indian Industry’s Task Force for Art & Culture), Ratish Nanda (CEO, Aga Khan Trust for Culture India), and Vikramjit Singh Rooprai (author, Delhi Heritage: Top 10 Baolis). The festival will also give a platform to five Water Heroes — community stewards of conservation — who will join government dignitaries and the WWF-India team in conversations on grassroots transformation. An exclusive water-themed art installation made for WWF-India by scrap metal artist Gopal Namjoshi will be unveiled and a special address by Mr Bharat Lal, SG & CEO of National Human Rights Commission, will further enrich the event.

Shantanu Moitra, Hope & Harmony Ambassador, WWF-India, said, “I have been associated with WWF-India and Earth Hour for many years now. But this year’s theme and message of #BeWaterWise are very close to my heart. When I cycled over 2,700 kilometres along the river Ganga, I realised the significance of water conservation. I’m thrilled to be telling some of those tales and performing a few tunes as part of the Earth Hour Festival 2025 on March 22nd at WWF-India.”

Earth Hour 2025 will transcend the symbolic act of turning off lights by encouraging simple actions that help in reducing water footprint, minimising single-use plastics, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions to collectively drive meaningful change.

Actor and environmentalist Dia Mirza said, “Like every year, I’ll be switching off for Earth Hour – not only to join the biggest voluntary movement for the environment, but also to spend an hour doing something positive for nature together with my entire family. This year is doubly special as Earth Hour converges with World Water Day and WWF-India’s message of #BeWaterWise aligns with my philosophy. It’s easy to be water-wise in our daily lives, and every single act of change adds up to leave a big impact on our finite water resources, which face threats from human activity and climate change. It’s a timely campaign for the world’s water flows that sustain all life, and I’m excited to be a part of it!”

Chef Ranveer Brar said, “I’m excited to lend my voice to WWF-India’s Earth Hour 2025 campaign. As a conscious practice, I switch off all non-essential lights every day and especially on this day. This year, its convergence with World Water Day has made the campaign even more meaningful. It’s an opportunity for all of us to commit to preserving our limited resources and conserving the planet. #BeWaterWise is a great initiative, and WWF-India’s suggested actions are so easy to implement, that I hope everyone will take them up.”

Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik reflected on the coming together of the two campaigns, “I have been associated with both Earth Hour and World Water Day for many years. As they converge this year, it’s a timely call for the world to act for the protection of our natural resources. I’m delighted to join this movement and feel that it is my obligation as an artist to add my own strokes to the canvas of conservation.”

2024 witnessed the biggest switch-off yet, with over 250 significant landmarks, monuments, government buildings, educational institutions, and corporates participating across India, making it the Biggest Hour for Earth. The campaign inspired Indians to ‘Give an Hour for Earth,’ collectively contributing 30 years’ worth of positive actions online and offline, earning India the #2 spot on the Global Earth Hour Leader Board. Additionally, the first Earth Hour Festival was hosted by WWF-India to facilitate conservation-themed activities and lifestyle interests.

We welcome the establishment of the Inter-Ministerial-Industry Committee on Fintech (IMICF) as a significant step toward advancing financial inclusion and strengthening India’s digital financial ecosystem. A well-coordinated policy framework has the potential to drive exponential improvements in digital financial infrastructure, ensuring greater access for underserved communities, particularly in rural areas. Measures that enhance financial literacy and build trust in digital transactions will be instrumental in integrating small business owners, self-employed, farmers and laborers with need of digitizing cash, into India’s digital growth story.

We also look forward to measures that enable BFSI entities to scale efficiently and bring digital empowerment to the cash economy, including streamlined small-ticket digital lending and enhanced support for women entrepreneurs in financial services. Additionally, regulatory advancements such as improved ATM interchange rates, unlocking investments from savings in gold and other assets, and leveraging AI for fraud reduction will be essential in shaping a resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem.

At Findi, we remain committed to collaborating with stakeholders to drive innovation, financial accessibility, and sustainable growth across India’s fintech landscape.

Attributed to: Mr. Dilip Modi, Founder & CEO, Spice Money 

“The establishment of a dedicated fintech panel by the government is a pivotal move that underscores the critical role of fintech in shaping India’s digital economy. As regulatory landscapes evolve, it is imperative to foster a framework that balances innovation with consumer protection. A streamlined regulatory approach will further strengthen last-mile delivery, allowing fintechs to continue driving financial inclusion and digital empowerment at scale.

At Spice Money, we have seen how supportive policies can transform lives. Our network of over 15 lakh Adhikaris/Merchant across Bharat is delivering essential financial services to underserved communities. The fact that senior officials from key departments such as MeitY, DPIIT, the Department of Economic Affairs, and NITI Aayog are coming together highlights the government’s commitment to understanding the views of various industries. This collaborative approach will ensure that the committee identifies challenges, analyzes global best practices, and makes comprehensive recommendations for a robust fintech ecosystem.

For a thriving fintech ecosystem, it is essential to address key issues such as the classification of fintech models, integrating non-bank business correspondents more effectively, and enabling banks to adopt face authentication for cash deposits and withdrawals to enhance financial inclusion. Moreover, ensuring the sustainability of fintechs by addressing challenges like cash flow disruptions often caused by account lockouts will help in fostering long-term growth and resilience.

A well-defined regulatory framework can further accelerate entrepreneurship, enhance financial literacy, and integrate millions of unbanked and underbanked individuals into the formal economy. We also hope that the government will think about enhancing the conditions of the Business Correspondents in India as they are the backbone of providing digital financial inclusion services across Bharat. This will ensure that no one is left behind in India’s financial growth journey, fostering inclusive development and digital empowerment at scale.”

Bringing two decades of unparalleled expertise with him, Chef Barbasso’s journey from mastering traditional preparation techniques to becoming a global ambassador of Italy’s most loved cuisine culminates in this rare showcase.

Chef Pasqualino is among the most skilful masters of acrobatic pizza-making. In the last 10 years, Pasqualino has travelled around the world offering his stunning performances to enhance the

quality and the good taste of Italian pizza, made according to true Italian traditions. In fact, Pasqualino Barbasso began his career in his family’s Pizzeria, Il Falco Azzuro, in Cammarata, in the Sicilian province of Agrigento, where he still works when he’s not travelling.

Later, he underwent formal pizza-making training. In 1998, he won the Sicily’s Acrobatic Pizza championship. By 2001, he was the World Champion. Since then, he has made dozens of appearances in Italian restaurants and pizzerias around the world.

Seafood enthusiasts can savour the King Sea, where premium smoked salmon meets pistachio pesto and parmesan fondue, while the luxurious Bolero showcases Italy’s finest ingredients—creamy burrata, delicate bresaola, and a sophisticated merlot reduction that elevates this pizza to extraordinary heights.

The assortment demonstrates Chef’s versatility and creative vision, from the unexpected Walnut pizza featuring a decadent combination of walnut cream, pungent gorgonzola and fresh rocket leaves, to the bold Calabrese with parmesan cream. For those craving familiar comfort with a gourmet twist, the Old West delivers slow-cooked pulled chicken, caramelised onions, and BBQ sauce, proving that Chef Barbasso’s culinary prowess extends beyond Italian borders while remaining rooted in exceptional technique and quality ingredients.

The dishes will be available on à la carte selections allowing guests to fully appreciate the breadth of his culinary vision. Whether opting for an intimate lunch or a celebratory dinner, patrons will witness first-hand masterful techniques that have made Chef Barbasso a global culinary ambassador.
