- Neeta Roy, Student Parent, Army Public School, Bangalore I am very impressed by the Eco-Schools Programme. It helps the child move away from the bookish knowledge and apply what they have learnt. Environment has become a cause of grave concern in the present scenario. This programme sensitizes the children to the importance of preserving and conserving it. Please keep up the good work!
Sanjeeta Thakur, PRT, Army Public School, Bangalore As a teacher involved, guided my children to work on their given projects. The adequate help was given and the activities were monitored and evaluated to give them encouragement. Children enjoyed all the activities. Grow and eat activities took almost 2 months and children enjoyed thoroughly and actively participated. Eco-Schools programme was a big success and was easily integrated in our school curriculum.
S.S.Sonawane, Non-Teaching Staff, Vidya Niketan English Medium School, Pune The changes we have seen in the school after the eco-schools programme: - We don't see lot of water spilt down after the children are done washing their hands. They have learnt to wash their hands without spilling water on the floor. They have also developed good toilet use habits and so it takes us lesser time to clean the toilets. - The passages are much cleaner with little or no litter. -In the classrooms, children put waste like pencil shavings, plastic, paper, fruit peels and chapati-bhaji in different bins for wet and dry waste. All these practices save us a lot of time cleaning perpetually.
