The students and teachers of Satya Elementary School in Dhulka village launched a community awareness campaign about creating a safe and green environment. [1] They targeted growing more plants, saving water, and avoiding plastic. [2] The village had 5,000 residents but people were too busy to care about environmental issues. [3] So the students decided to lead a campaign to change attitudes and involve the community through awareness and action. They consulted villagers, removed trash, planted trees, and went door-to-door to educate people. As a result, the community became more aware of environmental responsibilities and continued the work themselves.

1. Design for change, 2012
By
Satya Elementary School
Dhulka

2. Topic
• Community awareness about Safe
environment
Target areas were:
• Grow more plants
• Save water
• Avoid polythene

3. Dhulka is a large village with a population of around five thousand.
The problem was that people in the village are so busy in their
routine work that they have no feel of environmental issues, even the
well educated families are not responding towards this. So the need
was felt to change it via a campaign lead by the students of satya
elementary school Dhulka. So at the end of this we were able to
change the mindset of the community by make them aware and they
themselves were involved in making it a success . Pictures below are
telling the story
Before Execution After

4. • students and teachers consult with the sarpanch and community members and
decided to eradicate this problem by awaring the people.
• The community had to be sensitize regarding this issue .
• We will keep our village green.
•The task had to be implemented with the support of villagers as there was no
use of doing it alone by the students and teachers

5. We went on a drive in Dhulka. students
have implemented their project on public
places

6. Students of Satya Bharti School Dhulka informed about the
purpose of the plantation and cleanliness and need for protecting
the environment .

7. •Door to Door campaigns were done to generate awareness on
environmental issues
• We sensitized people about awaring them that there is no life
without air . Better Health and hygiene is the demand of the time

8. The main motive of this campaign was to aware and target of the Dhulka village .As we have
already mentioned that it is a large village there is no feel and sense of responsibility by the local
community towards surrounding and cleanliness and environment .So the students of Satya
Elementary school took this challenge of making people feel and realize their accountability . Now
community members have taken the charge of making the village clean and green the next two
months ,students would keep a close watch on the group of leaders who have been selected to
continue this campaign change .village Panchayat has appreciated the efforts of the teachers as
well as students of Satya Elementary school Dhulka
