Delhi Green

School Award

“We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change.
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” -
Howard Zinn

“D elhi Green School Award” is a vision, initiated by the Science branch of Directorate
of Education, Delhi to acknowledge & promote environment friendly practices in
our schools and making them a part of daily lives of students.

‘Nai Udaan’ our Science E-Magazine, is already celebrating these initiatives through
the section, “Ek Vidyalaya Aisa Bhi” under which several schools have
been recognized for their Green initiatives.

“Delhi Green School Award” is an attempt to recognize and celebrate the efforts
of the schools of Delhi in this direction. But, more than the celebration of the efforts,
it is about the perception and participation of the students in environment conservation
practices and how they take lead in them and become ECO WARRIORS.

For a school to be recognized as Green School, it has to fulfill several criteria such as its
area covered under plantation, the waste disposal mechanism, use of renewable sources
of energy such as Solar panel, efficient rain water harvesting mechanism, awareness
about types of trees and their uses, recycling mechanisms, methods used to conserve
birds, butterflies or any other species and most importantly active student participation
in all the initiatives.

A Circular regarding
the same was issued
on 7th November 2022
along with a form to
be filled in by the
Schools of Delhi,
through which the
responses were
received till 28th
S(CO-ED) SSS Munirka Village November 2022.
