Environment. In this direction our eco club members listed out various

their effect on water bodies. As a role model our school. Keep only
colourless clay Ganesha for pooja. same is immersed in the school tank
and the water is let to plants.This is in practice since 2002 our students
decided to creat the awareness among the residents of the weavers colony
area. They involved few schools in the programme, the members of pollution
control board , Heads of the institutions, the Eco-Club members, leaders of the
area were the invites. A procession was taken out on 8th September 2010 with
