All the Environment awareness activities are such that to make the  students , environment literate and create Green minds who would understand the scope and significance of their role in sustainable use of natural resources.  In Green School Programme, students took up assignments individually and audited the schools’ environmental practices. They disseminated the collected information and encouraged others also to do environmental audits at home and in the community; like-to monitor the water and electricity consumption in the colony or building.

Seeing our green performance, the Hon’ble   Chief Minister, Mrs. Sheila Dixit felicitated our school for securing 8th rank in All India Green School rating. This award was given jointly by Delhi Government and Centre for Science and Environment.

Policy on Environmental Conservation

Keeping in view, the global concerns of the environmental degradation , various activities have been designed to promote conservation of natural resources as reflected in the educational philosophy of Sadhu Vaswani i.e. Reverence for All Life and Love for Nature. We aim to sensitize and arouse concern for environmental principles among our students. The process emphasizes on minimizing waste, saving energy and water, using public transport and protecting our bio – diversity. Through programs like Meatless Day and Animal Rights Day, we simulate in the students commitment for environmental conservation. The schools’ policy involves innovative methods and techniques to create awareness for sustainable development.

GREEN SCHOOL

ASSET is a diagnostic test which actually helps students improve.

Unlike regular tests which try only to find out how much a child knows (or has memorized), ASSET measures how well a student has understood concepts and gives detailed feedback on the same, to help them improve.

Thus ASSET helps each student know whether she has actually understood a concept early on so that immediate action can be taken. Often students have conceptual gaps which increase as they progress and when they reach the higher classes, they develop a “phobia” for the subject.

Ability to think independently and reason logically - critical in today’s world - are often not emphasized in school tests.

Thus, ASSET focuses on IMPROVEMENT rather than comparison or grading. It also reduces the stress of exams by checking UNDERSTANDING rather than FACTS.

Many benefits for Schools, too

The power of ASSET does not end with detailed feedback and benchmarking provided to students. It offers many tangible benefits to teachers and schools:
