O2 Classrooms at Podar World School, Sherkhi
At Podar World School, the physical and mental health wellbeing of our students has always been a top priority for us. In today's world where Global Warming and the lack of pure oxygen has become a major issue that our coming generation will face, it’s of utmost significance that we teach our students the importance of plantation and saving mother nature.
Also, studies across the world have demonstrated that lower Oxygen (O2) level in classroom lowers the concentration level and increased Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels increases basic health risk to students. Carbon Dioxide being a heavy gas, takes time to dissipate and move out of rooms.
The good thing is that God has given all of us a very easy and Practical solution: Nature and more specifically, plants! They are the best source of increasing Oxygen and reducing Carbon Dioxide in the daytime. Moreover, plants also provide a natural way to reduce toxic agents as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air.
Podar World School group embarked on the initiative of “O2 Classroom”, to increase Oxygen levels in the classroom to help students focus and increase concentration levels to improve their learning and pedagogy. Each classroom is provided 24 pots fixed vertically and segregated house colour wise. The students not only plant the saplings which emit oxygen during day time but also nurtures it for the entire year. Each pot is tagged with student’s name below the sapling, to develop a sense of responsibility towards the plant.
What a brilliant initiative by Podar World Schools initiated by its dynamic Chairman Shri Raghav Podar.
