All students of Grades VI to XII do 12 hours of Community Service for a cause that they choose, and they are required to put in consistent efforts. The school helps them coordinate with the institutes they want to volunteer for, and involve the parents in supervision of the same.
On the occasion of World Environment Day on 5th of June, the children of Grades VI, VII and VIII, along with some parents and teachers from The Kalyani School, participated in a Cleanliness Drive. The children of Grades VI and VII took out a rally and spoke to the local shopkeepers within a onekilometer radius of the school, urging them to stop using plastic. Meanwhile, the children of Grade VIII lent a helping hand in cleaning the area around the school, making it plastic-free. This initiative aligned with the theme for this year, which was ‘Beat Plastic Pollution.’ A significant amount of plastic was collected and segregated into biodegradable bags for proper disposal.
On 23rd of April 2022, the students, teachers and all the staff of the Kalyani School engaged in cleaning the area in front of the school. The nallaa that runs there has troubled everyone for a long time, because local people have been heedlessly dumping plastic material and household garbage, including glass and metal into it. The area had become infested with harmful insects and emitted a bad odour. So, despite Saturday being a weekend, the Kalyaniites took it upon themselves to do the needful and clean the area.
With the help of the workers of an NGO, they tried to clean the area as best as they could. At the end of the drive, the place looked much cleaner, and would perhaps inspire the local people to keep it that way. The effort of the Kalyaniites was commendable and the students especially felt a sense of accomplishment after doing it. The school is proud of all the participants.
Bharat Yatra by Shri Kailash Satyarthi against child abuse: In 2017, The Kalyani school hosted Nobel Laureate, Shri Kailash Satyarthi’s team and our students participated in a march. They also sought to spread awareness through a street play, posters and songs.
The Kalyaniites do it all. Along with their studies, they are quite determined to do something meaningful, to make this world a healthy place to live in. They know the raging environmental concerns, and that it is everyone’s responsibility to make sure that the health and beauty of Mother Earth is restored and maintained. Keeping that in mind, on 26th of November 2022, our children of Grades VI-XII, participated in the river cleanup and plantation drive in Kharadi; and also took out a rally in the nearby areas, to raise awareness amongst the people about the importance of keeping our water bodies clean. They collected plastic, metal and garbage in separate bags. The teachers, parents, students and Management were highly appreciated for their initiatives, by the governing bodies of the city. The Kalyaniites have pledged to keep such efforts going, until they make a positive difference.
We are extremely conscious of our responsibilities towards our surroundings. This has led us into initiating and sustaining environment or eco-friendly projects and products, as an institution, as well as inculcating the same values in our students. Some of our projects aligning with the same are as follows:
