Sr. Pramila A.C. the Principal, in her address, stressed the need for a clean body and surroundings. She invited every worker to take individual responsibility to keep one’s environment clean and tidy. Every family of the building worker was given an Eco-Friendly bag for their daily purchase.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by Mrs. Martha, and refreshments were served to all the participants, making it a meaningful and an impactful session for everyone involved.
The school held a Cleanliness Drive as part of Swacchata Pakwada in which students voluntarily took part to clean the school surroundings. They resolved to make a ‘Plastic free Campus’.
A good number of students went round the neighbourhood and cleaned the public roads near the school and collected plastics, segregating them as bio degradable and non- biodegradable items. Thus, created an awareness among the public on the urgency of preserving this environment for our survival and for the future generation.
Every day a theme was allotted to each class on various aspects of nature. Students presented the theme impactfully at the school assembly.
