of school too, I decided to implement a zero garbage campaign in the school

with the help of students and my staff members. I took this change on the

nd
occasion of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti on 2 October 2018 .
Every staff members including me have been given a responsibility to keep

the particular portion of the school clean and healthy. We have appointed cleaning

workers on daily wages. They help our staff for cleaning. To keep the premises

clean, students are given rites to keep the surroundings clean. Students are

avoiding themselves to throw the waste papers, wrappers of chocolate or waste

food packet here and there instead they use dustbins properly. After assembly when

students entered the classroom, they clean the portion below their desk-bench and

pick the garbage if any. This helps to clean the entire classroom within 2 minutes.

We have appointed Swachchhata doot to each class to monitor the cleanliness of

the classroom. This Zero garbage campaign found very helpful to keep our school

clean and we are successful to provide healthy environment to our student and

staff. After all, we must remember that a sound mind lies in a healthy and sound

body.

Save food and water campaign -
To increase the environmental and social awareness of students, I always

advise them to avoid wastage of food and water. In the mid-day meal scheme. I

often observe that students threw away the food that they can't eat. So I with my

staff make them aware of the wastage of food. I also used to talk and explain to

them regularly about the importance of food and water, why we should avoid the

wastage of water and why we should save the water. In regards to water

conservation, we made the provisions of water conservation and water-absorbent
pits. Every year we give the pledge to the student to avoid wastage of food and

about saving water.
