A trip to the ‘Vikalp Mela’
On 1 July 2022, the school arranged a trip to the ‘Vikalp Mela’ set up by the Government of Delhi at the Thyagraj Stadium Complex to present eco-friendly substitutes to the regular (single-use) plastic-based ones, in the wake of the nationwide ban on several plastic items.
It was an enlightening experience for all on board.The event gained attention and appreciation from environmentally conscious citizens of the region and beyond, of which the young Green crusaders formed a significant chunk.It offered a myriad of innovative, delectable choices with a subtle touch of the ancient Indian culture that is revered for promoting living in harmony with the environment, along with a bunch of creative offerings, such as biodegradable cutlery made of sugarcane bagasse; toothbrushes, combs, earbuds, mobile phone stands, etc., made using Bamboo; earthen pots, bottles, compost-makers, tumblers and refrigerators; multitudinous cloth bags; benches, chairs, frames etc.
