GREENIZATION: A way of life
“Green is not something that you can buy
Green is a way of life.
So treasure everything,
Think Permaculturally
&
Live Sustainably – in all ways.
Make it, grow it, build it yourself…
Do all that you can, with all that you have.”

Sensitizing the students, developing their thought process through a well planned series of activities & programmes about the importance of preservation & conservation of environment is a regular feature at Manav Sthali School.
Each day, Manav Sthalians ensure that their hands that take from Mother Earth also give back to her, and this is done by simply taking care and spending time with the plants that they have adopted, talking to trees and composting.
With the same spirit, Student council along with the Anushasit group organised another set of activities to ensure that every student is continuously reminded of its duties towards the Earth under Greenization.
Greenization is a way of life at Manav Sthali School. Our young crusaders celebrate it with joy and zeal, with an aim to “plant, nurture and carry forward the legacy’’.
The toddlers of Class I – IV of International Primary Wing participated in many activities and with their tiny hands enjoyed the carbon print activity. They also participated in Fancy Dress show with the theme of “Environment protection”. Creatively and aesthetically dressed, they were very confident, facing the camera, they also talked of their contributions towards environment during interviews conducted by the Student council and Anushasit group.
Students of Class III, IV and V participated in a poem recitation activity. Students from Classes I-VIII campaigned for a plantation drive where they planted seeds and saplings to replenish the air, purify our earth. The students of Class VIII also crafted bookmarks and rekindled their commitment to save Mother Earth.
Mrs. Mamta Bhatnagar, Director and Founder Principal inspired and encouraged the students and staff to have reverence for the innumerous precious gifts nature has bestowed on us and to cherish and conserve them forever. She has always guided the students that we should celebrate every day as Earth Day and should make a difference by our contribution towards environment.
