The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has launched an awareness drive in 60 schools for creating awareness among the school students about environment sustainability and instil in them the habit of recycling. The schools chosen are from New Delhi and Bangalore.
This awareness campaign has been launched by joining hands with Tetra Pak private limited and is titled as Sensitisation, Education and Awareness for Cleaner Habitat (SEARCH).
Ranjana Saikia, associate director of TERI said: "At TERI, we are constantly fighting the odds and work hard towards sensitising people, especially young students about the perils of environmental degradation".
"With project SEARCH we are taking the message of waste recycling to 60 schools in Delhi and Bangalore in partnership with Tetra Pak which is a leading food processing and packaging solutions company. The aim is to educate students about problems related to waste and the virtues of reusing, reducing and recycling," she added.
The project will be implemented over a span of nine months and would involve 30 schools each in Delhi and Bangalore. The implementation will be such that thousands of children will be able to play a proactive role and be the key drivers in the vital process of enhancing the knowledge on environment protection which is followed by a positive action.
"The overall concept of awareness - analysis - reflection - action will be the focus of the project," Saikia added.
