In an effort to raise awareness about critical environmental issues, government schools in New Delhi will launch a comprehensive year-long program starting this month. The initiative, outlined by the Directorate of Education, will focus on monthly themes that tackle challenges such as plastic waste, biodiversity loss, air pollution, and climate change. The program kicks off with activities centered on plastic pollution in April, including essay writing and campaigns against single-use plastics, coinciding with Earth Day on April 22. Each subsequent month will address different themes, such as wildlife conservation in May and pollution awareness from October to March 2027. Schools will encourage students to participate in various activities like debates, quizzes, and plantation drives, while also promoting sustainable practices like composting and reducing energy consumption. To ensure accountability, all recognized schools must submit monthly reports detailing their activities and participation.
