In its endeavour to become eco-friendly school, it has taken
up the implementation of Green School Programme. The programme
has been designed by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE),
New Delhi, a non-profit organisation. CSE is one of the premier
institutions in creating awareness on environmental issues
and influencing policy changes. The school is all set to adopt
environmentally responsible practices.
In order to recycle the kitchen waste water, a soakage pit
was constructed. Excepting for the masonry work, the students
contributed the entire labour to complete the work. As a result
of this water logging is prevented and ground water is recharged.
An energy meter has been fixed to the generator measure the
energy consumption. This enables the students to monitor and
reduce the wastages.
The census of the trees in the campus was done. The survey
revealed that 230 trees were present in the campus.
Solid Waste management system has been introduced. Now the
garbage is segregated into biodegradable and dry waste. Dry
waste is further segregated into biodegradable and non-degradable.
Two dustbins are provided at all garbage collection points.
Four chambered vermicompost brick structure has been constructed
to convert bio-degradable waste into compost.
The concept of green school is being extended to the community
at the Centre. The school has taken up solid waste management
system to begin with.
