Environment Weak Celebrated
-By Anuradha
Our school celebrated ‘environment week’ with great zeal in the school campus and its nearby areas from 3rd April to 8th April 2008. The aim was to sensitize the students and the neighbourhood people to preserve and conserve the environment. The entire week saw frenzied activities and the school campus wore a green look.
The plantation drive was inaugurated by the chairman of the school, Dr. K.H. Jain marking the beginning of the event. ‘Each one-plant one-adopt one’ was the motto infused among the children. planted On the second day, DDE, District East, Mr. K.M. Sinha along with education officer, Mrs V. L. Vinayak the saplings in the school ground. They appreciated the school’s endeavours to make the future of our nation, environment-conscious and nature lovers. Afterwards, the Eco-club incharge along with house coordinators planted the saplings. The prefectorial team took the pledge to tend the saplings.
It was followed by a rally of the students and teachers with placards accompanied by a slogan- shouting was a sort of wake-up call. The ‘Nukkad-Nataks’ based on cleanliness, plea to stop the usage of polythene bags and replacing it with eco-friendly products stirred the people’s conscience.
On the concluding day, inter-house debates and declamation contests were organised. To disseminate the message among the tiny-tots, the drawing and fancy-dress competitions were held. The colourful attire of children as trees, flowers, mountains presented lively environment. The small gestures of the future citizens aimed at turning the green movement to mass movement.
