Trivia Fest 2026 encourages learning and sustainability in Haflong
The fourth edition of Trivia Fest 2026 concluded successfully on Saturday in Haflong, witnessing enthusiastic participation from students, educators and youths from different parts of the region.
Organised by the HELP Society, the three-day festival featured a wide range of literary competitions, interactive sessions, cultural programmes and youth-oriented activities aimed at promoting knowledge-sharing, creativity and holistic development among young participants.
The event was held across multiple venues, including Vivekananda Vidyalaya High School, and also focused on social responsibility and environmental awareness alongside academic engagement.
One of the major highlights of this year’s festival was the inclusion of an e-waste collection and awareness initiative. Participants and attendees were encouraged to bring discarded electronic items for responsible recycling and disposal as part of a broader campaign to promote sustainable waste management practices.
The sustainability initiative was organised in collaboration with recycling company Binbag. Organisers stated that the drive received an encouraging response from the public, with many participants contributing electronic waste materials during the festival.
Speaking on the occasion, Achitra Borgohain said that community-driven initiatives involving young people play a vital role in strengthening environmental awareness.
“Conversations around e-waste management and sustainability need greater public participation and awareness, especially among youth. Since 2014, we have been working in the recycling and waste management sector with a focus on transforming discarded electronics into reusable resources,” he said.
He further noted that platforms such as Trivia Fest create meaningful opportunities to connect communities with environmental responsibility in an engaging manner.
Organisers of Trivia Fest 2026 said the inclusion of sustainability-focused activities added a new dimension to the festival and reflected growing awareness among young people regarding recycling, environmental conservation and responsible living.
