Rajagiri Public School (RPS) celebrated nature over three days, by observing World Sparrow Day (March 20), International Day for Forests (March 21) and World Water Day (March 22).
The senior grade students prepared presentations and mockumentary showing the present status of forests and water and their inter-connect. They pledged to reduce wastage of resources and to minimise waste generation. Principal Sanjeev Kumar emphasised the empowering aspects of such observances by the students themselves. The academic director Dr Prashant congratulated the school for having taken on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework in earnest, and having adopted Goal No 2 (Zero Hunger) and Goal No 13 (Climate Action), for the school activities this year. A bird bath and bird feed were installed by the students. Four tree saplings – Miswak, Hibiscus, Lemon and Mulberry – were introduced to the campus and students have pledged to monitor their growth.
