Joining Hands

My Clean School, Ajmer’ and the Rotary Club (Mid Town) Ajmer join hands to support an environmental initiative

Savitri Girls Primary School is a member of the ‘My Clean School’ movement in Ajmer.

The dynamic duo of the Headmistress, Mrs. Jyotsna Sharma and Mrs. Kanta Mishra,teacher coordinator for the school, have fired the imagination of the young girls who are keen to work towards tidying up their school campus and also to take the messages  ‘Save Water’ and ‘Avoid using Polythene bags’ to their homes.

The Headmistress requested the ‘My Clean School, Ajmer’ organization to find a sponsor who would donate large dust bins to the school.

Rotary Club was approached and their President Mr. Sanjeev Khandelwal readily agreed to present 10 dust bins to the school children.

At a simple but meaningful ceremony held in the school on the 11th of May 2010, Mr. Suresh Mathur, Facilitator, told the children that our belief is that if the students started looking around and came up with suggestions about what they would like to do to improve their environment, it would be of great value all round.

The Rotary President commended the initiative and complimented the students, the headmistress and the teacher co-ordinator for their zeal. He also said that Rotary would be keen to support environmental initiatives by school children.

Suresh reports: ‘My Clean School, Ajmer’

Catch ‘em Young!

The Ajmer Kindergarten School, a nursery school with children aged 2 to 3 years, is a member of the ‘My Clean School, Ajmer’ initiative and undoubtedly has the youngest members among all the member schools in the city!

A trendsetter school, ‘Greening Ajmer’ is a part of its vision statement.

Nisha Agarwal, the Headmistress of the school, beams with pride as she explains how all students are given a plant in a pot when they join the school with their name tag on it. Each student waters his plant regularly under the caring eye of the teacher and watches it grow. A bond grows between the child and the plant.

 When the student leaves school he/she is gifted the plant to take home.

It is also a message to the parents, says Nisha.

If more schools adopted the idea the planet would be greener! Wouldn’t you agree?

May 2009

My Clean School Ajmer organised a poster making competition for school children on the topic: 'Reduce- Reuse-Recycle' on 18th Sept. 2009.

The response was very heartening and the quality of posters was extremely good.

Sponsors provided funds for prizes and for all other expenditure.

The Divisional Commissioner, Mr. Atul Sharma, commended the effort of the students and promised all support to the 'My Clean School Ajmer' efforts.
