students are asked to keep a record of water saving
Ludhiana: 31st May 2016: (Punjab Screen Bureau):
To solve water crisis and ensure judicious utilization of water, BCM Arya has set into action with surprisingly simple idea for water conservation. The simple yet powerful idea has been given shape by designing a proforma to communicate, impart knowledge and bring about a change in outlook at the grassroots level about water conservation and watershed management. As a part of Summer Break activity students are asked to keep a record of no. of mugs used for routine activities like brushing, taking bath, washing vehicles, watering plants etc.
“Such efforts, small in scale though they may be, go a long way in tackling climate change and building a sustainable future for us all. Saving water is an ‘open mission’. The more who join in, the merrier we are." said Dr. Paramjit Kaur, Principal of School.
During summer, availability of water becomes scarce in cities and through such programmes, we aim to create awareness amongst students regarding water conservation and protection of all natural resources for a sustainable future." Said Ms. Vipra Kale, the environmental Manager.
CBSE-I students have made beautiful hand made proformas and one working on it with a water drop smiing. Parents have also supported for the project.
“It was a wonderful, fun loving and great learning activity as we came to know how many mugs of water we really waste in daily routine activities,” says Deepti of IX D.
“I felt satisfied and surprised by the fact that we can save large quatity of water with little change in our life style”. Says Aarush Thakur of 5th CBSE –I
Children are more likely to spread the message to their family and neighbours and encourage a whole lot more people to save and reuse water.
This effort might just be the tip of the iceberg but the impact could be tremendous .
