Army Public School: ‘Paani’ Anthem for saving water
The students were reminded that every drop of water was precious and that the water cycle and life cycle are interlinked.
Army Public School, Golconda observed water conservation week on 24th August on a virtual platform. The theme of the event was “No Water, No Life.” It was an effort to spread awareness about conserving groundwater and proper utilisation of rainwater. Around 475 students and teachers logged in to witness the event.
The convention started with the students taking a pledge to conserve water. The students were reminded that every drop of water was precious and that the water cycle and life cycle are interlinked.
A mesmerizing dance performance on “Paani Anthem” invoked the audience to save, conserve and protect water bodies. To emphasize the significance of water, the students of class X made a short movie on the future of the planet without water.
They presented visually depressing pictures of the present state of lakes, rivers and oceans. Students are harbingers of change.
They also showcased the steps taken by the school to conserve and preserve water. Use of a rain harvest pit with a capacity of 10,000 liters, usage of sprinklers to water the garden, and tree plantation campaign -“ One Child One Tree” are some of the measures taken under the guidance of principal Vidya Muralidharan.
These steps have resulted in a cleaner and greener campus replete with abundant flora and fauna, the school said. The highlight of the event was the presence of special guest Madhulika S Chaudhary, also known as the “Lady of the Lake” and founder of the NGO Dhruvansh.
She spoke about her journey from a technocrat to a nationally decorated and accomplished environmentalist. She shared her experience of how she restored the Neknampur lake from a deplorable state of decay to a bio-diversity-rich tourist park.
Madhulika inspired students to be the “change” and play an active role in saving the environment. Principal Vidya Muralidharan thanked the guests.
