We are now familiar with the repercussions of waste
dumping on the environment, and its impact on the quality
of soil, air and the ecosystem as a whole, through the
recently launched Waste Management Module.
I sincerely hope that each one of you is learning new things
while enjoying the new module. We will also go through
the feedback you share and make as many changes as
possible and make the programme more appealing,
interesting and effective.
In the last few months, we have seen active and
enthusiastic participation from various schools though
cleanliness drives, rallies, cyclothons, tree plantation etc.
Students have displayed immense passion and dedication
by working on innovative projects displayed through
exhibitions on various aspects of resource conservation. We
also celebrated the ‘International day for protection of
Ozone layer’ and ‘World car free day’ across the country.
We also organised the Annual Principals’ & Mentors’
Meet’ in Mumbai and felicitated the best performing
schools of the year for successfully conducting various Club
Enerji Programmes. We had an enriching discussion and
will implement the constructive feedback asap.
This quarter we will be launching exciting contests on our
digital platforms for you to participate in and win exciting
prizes. I urge you all to visit our digital platforms like
website, Facebook and Twitter page and experience the fun
while you learn new things.
Let us all gear up for our biggest annual event Enerji Q, I look
forward to an overwhelming participation from each one
of you.
As we step into the festive season, let us all pledge to use
energy judiciously and encourage our family and friends to
do the same. I wish you all a very happy and safe Diwali.
Warm Regards,
