We are now familiar with the repercussions of waste

dumping on the environment, and its impact on the quality

of soil, air and the ecosystem as a whole, through the

recently launched Waste Management Module.

I sincerely hope that each one of you is learning new things

while enjoying the new module. We will also go through

the feedback you share and make as many changes as

possible and make the programme more appealing,

interesting and effective.

In the last few months, we have seen active and

enthusiastic participation from various schools though

cleanliness drives, rallies, cyclothons, tree plantation etc.

Students have displayed immense passion and dedication

by working on innovative projects displayed through

exhibitions on various aspects of resource conservation. We

also celebrated the ‘International day for protection of

Ozone layer’ and ‘World car free day’ across the country.

We also organised the Annual Principals’ & Mentors’

Meet’ in Mumbai and felicitated the best performing

schools of the year for successfully conducting various Club

Enerji Programmes. We had an enriching discussion and

will implement the constructive feedback asap.

This quarter we will be launching exciting contests on our

digital platforms for you to participate in and win exciting

prizes. I urge you all to visit our digital platforms like

website, Facebook and Twitter page and experience the fun

while you learn new things.

Let us all gear up for our biggest annual event Enerji Q, I look

forward to an overwhelming participation from each one

of you.

As we step into the festive season, let us all pledge to use

energy judiciously and encourage our family and friends to

do the same. I wish you all a very happy and safe Diwali.

Warm Regards,
