It was an initial step towards forming a ‘green group’ in the school. Environment sensitive students from std 9th joined hands for a cleaner city. Under the able guidance of Mr. Sanjay Athavale, founder of the NGO Green Hills group, Pune, a group of 20 students volunteered to visit the ARAI tekdi to learn about wet waste compost.
The students were asked to bring along wet waste like banana peels, vegetable waste etc and dispose it into the compost for plants which have been planted by the group in the past. The students were curious to know about the group’s activities apart from plantation drives. The group has planted more than 10,000 trees in and around the city.
Later, the students went on a green walk, where they spotted different species of birds like the Cormorant and the Indian Robin.
