Hyderabad, Nov.14 (Maxim News): Governor ESL Narasimhan today stressed the need for clean and green environment with active participation of the students.
Participating in a program to mark Children’s Day along with students of several schools in Raj Bhavan, Narasimhan greeted the children from various schools in Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Yadadri-Bhongir and Suryapet districts in Telangana and Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing the Principals, teachers and students on the occasion, the Governor said every year Raj Bhavan organises exhibition on a chosen topic for the benefit of the students’ awareness. This year a digital exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi has been organized with the theme ‘Peace Truth Ahimsa’ coinciding with the 150th year of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanthi.
The Governor said he would visit the schools on the days on which they undertake cleanliness or tree plantation campaigns, if informed in advance. All the schools should conduct one period on moral lessons, if it is not done already and it is the responsibility of teachers to check dropouts and make best human beings out of the students. He said the school children should take up the ‘clean the school’ activity on a designated day in every fortnight, accompanied by the teachers.
He said each class should be made responsible to plant and maintain trees and plants on the school premises. “They have to water and maintain the plants and the responsibility lies on Principals, teachers to ensure this. The schools, which stand in the forefront in cleanliness, tree plantation and maintenance, will be rewarded at the end of the year, he added.
As many as 600 school children from 25 schools gathered at the Samskruthi Community Centre, Raj Bhavan, as part of the Children’s Day celebrations. The Governor greeted the tiny-tots and interacted with the Principals and teachers of various schools, accompanying the students.
