Hyderabad: Students of Manthan School lead environmental initiative with ‘Project Go Kurin’

Students aimed to reduce school paper waste and transform it into recycled paper and handcrafted paper mache objects as part of the ISP Changemakers programme.

Hyderabad: Six Class IX IGCSE students from Manthan School Hyderabad have taken an innovative step towards environmental conservation with their ‘Project Go Kurin’, focusing on paper recycling and sustainability.

Students aimed to reduce school paper waste and transform it into recycled paper and handcrafted paper mache objects as part of the ISP Changemakers programme. The project concluded with a donation drive and a workshop for children at Keshav Nagar Government School.

Under the project, students collected paper waste from their school, shredded it, and processed it into pulp. The pulp was then transformed into fresh batches of paper, which served as the base material for the creation of paper mache toys, sculptures, and decorative items. They visited the Gowlidoddi Keshav Nagar Government School, where they donated the handmade toys to the Anganwadi kids and conducted a hands-on workshop teaching the children the art of paper recycling.

Appreciating students, Manthan School principal Surjeet Singh said the work done by students under ‘Project Go Kurin’ was a testament to the potential young minds have in creating positive change. “I encourage everyone to follow their lead and contribute to a greener and more sustainable world,” Singh added.
