3. THE GENESIS
We, the teachers of PSBB , K.K.Nagar , were recently
shown a video that talked of how children can be a big
force towards changing the world in their own special
way.
After seeing the video, we were asked to introspect
and plan for how our own students could contribute to
a social cause in their own sweet little innocent ways.
5. THE IDEA
After some thought, I came to the conclusion that what was needed
was an action plan with the following attributes:-
It can make a visible difference to our immediate
environment.
It should be implementable even by the youngsters in my
class VI ‘K’.
It also inculcates good habits in the children participants for
the wider world outside the school campus.
THE PLAN:-
Our students helped towards eradicating the bad habit of littering
which is very common and widespread throughout India.
7. THE IMPLEMENTATION
Our students stay back after school gets over each day and collect all
the left over stationery which is generally scattered all over the
classroom.
They either keep it safely with themselves or put it in the cupboard for
safe-keeping.
The next day the stationery is returned to the respective owners.
At the same time, the owners are also made aware about how
responsibility starts with small things such as this, how such things can
save their parents’ hard earned money etc.
9. IN THEIR WORDS
When asked about why this particular project was initiated , one
student’s reply was, ”If not us, then who ma’am? “
The future generation of INDIA is thus getting involved and helping out
from an early age.
Kudos to them.
The children also made some posters which we can see in the video
that follows next…

the way they are, and ask why?
I dream of things that never were,
and ask why not?
