Institutions across the city, including Akshara International School, Blue Ridge Public School, Darshan Academy, Sungrace High School, Hillgreen High School, Moledina High School, Acharya Shree Vijay Vallabh School and Educon International School, took part in it. Students and staffers together pledged to keep their surroundings, city and their country clean and make it a part of their daily lives. The pledge was an initiative by SWaCH, a social enterprise for waste management.
Suman More, the president of the board of directors at SWaCH, said, “If each of us pledges to keep our surroundings clean, we can make a difference to the entire city and the country. Children can make the most difference as they carry the message to their families and localities. Waste can be reduced through recycling and disposing it of the right way through waste workers.”
