HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Public School (HPS), Ramanthapur, organised an E-Waste Awareness Drive through its Eco Club under the Mission LiFE initiative. The programme aimed to sensitise students to the environmental hazards of improper electronic waste disposal and encourage responsible e-waste management practices.

Around 250 students from Grades VI to XII actively participated in the initiative. A series of activities, including essay writing, painting, seminars, rallies, poster-making and the collection of electronic waste, were organised to highlight the importance of proper e-waste disposal and promote greater environmental awareness among students.

The drive emphasised the need to segregate electronic waste from regular household waste, repair damaged devices wherever possible, reuse electronic items and ensure their safe disposal through appropriate channels. Students were also educated about the harmful environmental consequences of indiscriminate e-waste disposal and the importance of adopting sustainable waste management practices.

The initiative encouraged students to incorporate simple yet meaningful eco-friendly habits into their everyday lives and extend the message of responsible e-waste management to their families and communities.

ā€œEnvironmental responsibility begins with awareness and the choices we make in our everyday lives. Through initiatives like the E-Waste Awareness Drive, we aim to sensitise students to the environmental impact of improper electronic waste disposal and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices such as reducing, reusing, repairing and recycling. Our students have an important role to play in creating awareness within their families and communities. At The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur, we believe that education must go beyond classrooms and inspire young minds to become responsible citizens who actively contribute towards a cleaner and greener future.ā€ said Dr. Narsimha Reddy, Principal, The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur

The programme reaffirmed The Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur's commitment to environmental sustainability and its endeavour to empower young minds to become responsible citizens who contribute towards building a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future.
