This student-driven program is a commitment to establishing a balance between man and the environment. Collaborating with numerous organizations throughout the country, our students are actively working to raise awareness about environmental problems, and to give back to nature through planting trees and using eco-friendly methods to contribute to the restoration of the environment.On 23 November 2023, the students visited the Canadian High Commission to mark the Climate Conference COP28 which is going to be held in Dubai, by listening to the stories of twenty-eight young entrepreneurs and environmental activists who have taken various initiatives to tackle climate change and have inspired many in doing so. The innovative ideas and vision of these twenty eight change makers have been encapsulated into a book which was released on the occasion.The students had the privilege of interacting with the High Commissioner of Canada to India, Cameron Mackay, and the climate activists, and were inspired by their insights and experiences, while collecting some empowering words of inspiration.  These climate activists are a shining example of how young minds can make an impact on society. Eco Club spreads awareness on the growing problem of environmental degradation and is a beautiful initiative through which young Tagoreans  can give back to nature. 

Road Safety Awareness

Road safety education is absolutely vital in  helping children become aware of traffic lights and road rules and it is never too early to start. The young students of Nursery and KG participated with enthusiasm in the ‘road safety’ activity organized for them in November 2023. They enjoyed colouring the traffic lights and reciting the rhyme ‘red light red light’. They learnt that red light means stop, while yellow means slow down or wait and green light means that the vehicles are allowed to go ahead. It was an excellent introduction to a skill which will help them to stay safe.
