The ISA project undertaken by the School of Vermicom posting kindles in our students the awareness and knowledge to efficiently turn waste into an environmentally safe product through ecologically safe method. This helps sensitizing our young minds towards the environment and making green warriors out of them. We are proud that since the conception of this project, our students have successfully sold a good number of indigenous processed compost packets. The students prepared thought provoking posters depicting the need of the hour and the fragility of the eco-system. To reinforce the urgency and to call for stronger and immediate actions to stop global warming and to reverse environmental destruction the students from Grade IV to XI participated in an Inter House Nukkad Natak Competition and enlightened their classmates.

Addressing the students, Principal Ms. Poonam Chaubey counseled the young students and encouraged them to be role models who not only REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE but also REPEAT this practice and make it a part of their daily schedule. She said, “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
