COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMME
Eco club of DAVVIS is a means by which students are empowered to participate and take up meaningful environmental activities and projects. It is a forum through which students reach out to influence and engage their parents and neighborhood communities to promote sound environmental behaviour. The Eco Club also empowers students to explore environmental concepts and actions beyond the confines of a syllabi or curriculum. While everyone, everywhere, asserts the importance of ‘learning to live sustainably,’ environment remains a peripheral issue in the formal schooling system. It continues to be viewed more as an extracurricular activity and less as a subject holding a priority position in the national curriculum.
The year ahead is lined up with a plethora of activities that would inculcate love and a sense of responsibility towards our environment and educate us about our rich cultural heritage. In a world that races to be ahead we say, ‘stop, and turn back! ‘Perhaps you may find answers to many questions that rattle your brain, in the very things you thought were insignificant.
