It is heartening to see the program progressing as the school nodal teachers and the district nodal officers are updating the activity tracker and we are able to share data through our website header, Students’ works
Over 23,000 students having visited on-ground waste management facilities, understanding the importance of source segregation of waste into wet waste, dry waste and domestic hazardous waste.
The 130 community facilitators working with the urban local bodies were mapped to all these schools and have done a great job successfully conducting the field visits and sensitising students. Many Municipal Corporation Commissioners, Executive Officers and other officers also joined hands and encouraged students in this campaign to keep our cities clean and sustain source segregation of waste. Students were advised to resist throwing of garbage on open plots and roadsides and avoid using single use plastic and thermocol items in daily life. The District Nodal officers, the school nodal teachers, the community facilitators have been contributing immensely in developing Sustainability Leaders.
