ucket instead of shower while bathing. The pamphlet was issued by students of the school in collaboration with ministry of environment, NCT of Delhi.
Richa, a ninth standard girl, said, “On the way, I spotted a cooler which was leaking and immediately instructed the household to plug the leak. And they listened to us.”
Citing another experience, she said, “A man was washing his car with pipe, I immediately approached him and asked him to use bucket. He complied”. Summing up her experiences, she says, “It was highly educative.”
Shipra, her classmate, says, “When I distributed the pamphlets, people enquired about it and I then explained to them in detail.” She adds, “People were very receptive to our ideas”.
Kavita Goel, an English teacher of the school, said, “Our school’s Eco-Club keeps on organising such activities to educate the students and their parents. For the last the four years we have
organised essay competitions, speech competitions, etc., focussing on environmental problems and their solutions.

So, we conceived the idea of a street procession.” According to her, before taking the students out, they had organised a workshop and educated the children on this issue. She also adds, “This is an on-going process for us. In fact, it supplements the education and acts as catalyst in the all round development of students’ पेर्सोनालिटी
