The World may celebrate ‘World Environment Day’ on June 5th but the schools of Kolkata are celebrating it every day. They are doing every bit to make sure that Mother Earth is safe. Bhavan's Gangabux Kanoria Vidyamandir took the initiative to conduct an environmental awareness quiz competition on June 19th.
Well, 8 days later on 27th July another school took a similar initiative and conducted an environment awareness quiz. This time it was Andhra Association School which collaborated with VINISHA (an NGO organized to create awareness for a greener environment) for an interactive session. The quiz competition started from 10 am and extended till 1 pm. It was an inter-school competition where 14 students from 7 schools participated. The event aimed to create awareness among students and teachers about environment-related issues like smog, regular usage of plastic and many such environmental hazards.
