Various activities based on eco-awareness were conducted in the montessori, primary and senior sections of Ryan School, ranging from badge-making, poster making, ball painting, debate and fence painting.

The students showcased their ideas in novel ways. The senior students took upon themselves the responsibility of transforming the garbage dump area facing their school into a “green-belt”. The cleaning and refilling process for the same has already been done. To mark their contribution, the students beautified the place by painting the fence around it and also have planned to turn it into a garden tending to one plant each.

Speaking on the occasion, the Principal Ms Jaishree Gupta said, “Activites like these enable children to understand the importance of events and do their part no matter how trivial it may seem, but it is a question of being involved and having a sense of contributing towards it to the best of you capacity. to achieve higher goals one must start young and take small steps before a giant leap. It is in this that the Ryanites come forward and setup trends that are “first-times’ in this city.”

As part of this awareness programme, the students of Class X visited Mahavir Spinning Mills to know about air pollution control, the Hero Cycle unit for knowledge in electroplating Kay Jay forgings and a few other units. The students had an interactive session with the faculty of the Punjab Pollution Control Board on “Bio-medical waste and its treatment”. The onus of the whole programme is on the PPCB without whose efforts it would not have been possible. The students and staff extended a heartfelt thanks to the members for initiating to help in his endeavour and supply the much needed first hand information to the inquisitive queries of the students.
