Salwan Green School Project flag off ceremony: g.d.Salwanians launched the Green School Programme, under CSE, in the school on 2.7.10. Five audit teams were raised on which the evaluation of the programme will finally be assessed namely: Water, Air, Land, Energy and Waste. The entire school community engaged in the programme were introduced. Each audit team comprising of teacher, students, administrative and support staff  explained their agenda, their planned activities and their implementation. GSP is a self-assessment programme, helping the students to audit their use of resources and map their consumption and wastage. As environmental managers it tells them how to plug the gaps that they inevitably identify in their current practices. With the believe that the programme will certainly be stimulating the growth of a more environmentally aware and responsible generation of citizens the school principal, Ms. Vijay Laxmi Singh flagged off the ceremony by planting a sapling in the school grounds and with the encouraging words wished all the five teams good luck for their audit.
