"We are on Earth to take care of life, we are on Earth to take care of each other."

World environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5th globally.It is the perfect opportunity to make people aware of the issues we are facing and how one can contribute to saving it.Plastic pollution and its detrimental impacts on health, the economy and the environment cannot be ignored. Urgent action is required. At the same time, we need true, effective and robust solutions. As part of several policies aimed at plastics but at large we are not fully committed to reduce the production and consumption of single-use plastic

As students are the future generations of the country, their commitment, their practice to combat plastic pollution would bring fruitful results certainly. They are the change agents to change the face of the world. Keeping the above in mind, many engaging activities were designed for the APS MEERUT  STUDENTS (classes I to XII) to achieve the expected learning outcomes
