Through collaborative efforts with local waste management authorities, we ensure that waste generated within our school premises is collected, disposed of, and recycled properly. We conduct regular awareness campaigns and educational programs to instill a sense of environmental responsibility in our students.
●Ongoing Monitoring and Evaluation: To maintain the quality and effectiveness of our initiatives, we have established a system for ongoing monitoring and evaluation. We have appointed responsible staff members or a committee dedicated to overseeing the provision of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and effective waste management practices. Regular inspections and assessments are conducted to identify any areas for improvement or deficiencies in the implemented measures. We also actively seek feedback from students, parents, and staff to address concerns and make necessary adjustments to our policies and practices.
