Podar World School, Sherkhi had always been the harbinger in promoting awareness among the common mass for any burning environmental or social issues that affect the humanity at large. The leader, Ms Preeta Pillai, is the propelling force in sensitizing the learners towards social issues and helping them in doing their bit for any initiative undertaken for the welfare of the common mass. The Principal flagged of the well-being walk and even picked up a few rags along with the students in the dual purpose walk for a distance of 2 kms by students of class IX to XII through the streets of one of the prime locations of the city, Gotri - Sevasi road on 5th October, 2019. The proud podarites clad in their uniform, wearing house caps and gloves went rag picking on the streets especially plastic bottles, wrappers, tins, worn out plastic covers etc for the noble rationale.
They trudged smartly carrying ply cards and banners with slogans to 'Ban plastic' 'Save Heart, Save Enviornment' for a healthier and better tomorrow by clearing the walking corridors off all plastic wastes. It was indeed a lovely sight to see our future cohort in all its gravity clearing the streets off all plastic wastes and finally dumping the individual waste bags into a wheelie bin. This was in support of our Prime Minister’s endeavor to promote health care, cleanliness and environment as a part of the 150th birth anniversary celebration of our ‘Father of Nation’ and the first President of Podar Trust, Shri Mahatma Gandhi. Hats off! to the cognizant Management, magnanimous leader and the observant students for creating a ripple in the society.
