Students of BVB Tirupati contribute 5.6 tonnes of used books for recycling
Students of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Sri Venkateswara Vidyalaya, Tirupati, joined the 'WOW Recycling' initiative taken up by the Academy of Gandhian Studies, in collaboration with the ITC and contributed 5.6 tonnes of material for recycling.
The WOW (Well-being Out of Waste) Recycling program began as part of the 'Save our Planet' initiative, coinciding with World Earth Day (April 23).
As part of the inter-school recycling championship, the students were informed about the event through fliers and awareness sessions.
At the end of the academic year, the students brought their used notebooks in designated WOW bags, which collectively weighed 5.6 tonnes, and handed the same over to the organisers. The recyclable paper material was later sent to ITC.
Interestingly, the students received books made of recycled paper as a 'return gift', as a token of appreciation of their efforts towards making the earth green.
Bhavan's honorary director N. Satyanarayana Raju lauded the organisers for promoting sustainability and also instilling a sense of environmental consciousness in the young minds.
