ORGANIC COMPOST AVAILABLE Process: made through a process called Vermiculture, where worms decompose organic food waste, turning the waste into compost rich nutrients, necessary for plant growth. Pls email vtrivedi@vasantvalley.org

Paper Recycling | ||||
|
The students are actively involved in making handmade paper from waste paper that is generated by various office and class interactions. The school also reuses the sheets, which have been used from one side, to send internal memos, to take notes, for rough work, etc. | |||
Vermicomposting | ||||
|
The organic waste (waste school lunch, dry leaves, etc.) is collected on a regular basis. This is then mixed with cow dung and earthworms. Manure is ready to use after four months. This is then sorted and packed. The worms collected after sorting are put in a fresh pile of cow dung and thus the vermin-composting process continues. | |||
Diwali Saplings | ||||
|
Distribution of Saplings We encourage all our students and teachers to participate in this Joyous season by planting a Sapling and not only to curb pollution but also give life to a new being and take the responsibility to look after it for years to come.
