Save Mother Earth: A Commitment Of DPS PinjorePosted by anthony on April 26th, 2012

“Towards a sustainable Society and sustainable development to heal the world”, with this theme, the DIPsites from Pinjore published their Annual School Magazine working on various projects to get sensitized and spread awareness about the dire need of the hour – To save The Green Planet.

DPS Pinjore, thus is playing a vital role in educating the young about various environmental issues like plantation, energy, saving water and minimizing pollution. The three R’s (Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse) are the main topics for the projects making children appreciate the Earth with all its wonderful resources and also learn how to take care of them. We feel that our children although quite young can make a difference. They can be the best agents of change. If we want to bring in the change we have to be the change ourselves. Gandhiji quite rightly said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”, therefore to make this world  a better place to live in for the present and Gen Next we want to make these future citizens of our country to participate whole heartedly to improve the glomming scenario that we experience today. If you want a sustainable society you all have to work for a sustainable development. We stated a drive with our school magazine to sensitize children and bring in this desired change.

Now they are all geared up to celebrate their annual function on the theme “We Are The World” The message is loud and clear that unless each one of us learns to shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing and returning the beauty of a badly pillaged and ravaged planet. We must become sensitive to the SOS:

Check pollution, plant trees

Be sensitive towards her needs

To return the beauty, she has lost

We all need to do our utmost.

With this concern and commitment the students observed “Earth day” on April 21^st participating in a host of activities organized to commemorate this day. While the students of class IX expressed their concern and commitment towards the noble cause of saving our planet, in a skit titled “We Will Save Her”, the students of class 3–5 made lovely cards and displayed them on the boards.

The students from classes 6-10 group participated in an inter house declamation competition .Speaking on the topic “My Mother Earth: My Responsibilities”, they expressed their views on the deteriorating state of the eco system, deforestation and Human insensitivity towards the Earth whose bounties are in abundance. The orators brought home the fact that each one has to wake up and own the responsibility of returning the charm and beauty as all life on Earth is part of one great interdependent system. Disturbing one part of the biosphere affects the whole planet. It is a matter of ethics as well as practicality to manage development so that it does not threaten the survival of other species.

DPS Pinjore is working with a conviction that our honest thoughts can be turned into reality only with a total dedication to the cause of saving The Mother Earth. Every child knows that the hope lies in individual efforts-a humble beginning can become an inspirational spark.

Therefore to commemorate this most significant and important day of our times, a special assembly was conducted in the school on April 21. The children, all ready to take the responsibility, expressed their concern about pollution, deforestation and the inhuman attitude of the residents of this earth whom we have ravage, pillaged, destroyed and drained it of its vitality. A skit was presented by class 9^th students to spread awareness and also to make everyone feel responsible for the safety of the Mother Earth.

In an InterHouse declamation contest, the participants from classes 6 to 10 expressed their views on the deteriorating state of the eco system, deforestation and Human insensitivity towards the Earth whose bounties have no abundance. The orators brought home the fact that each one has to wake up and own the responsibility of returning the charm and beauty of Mother Earth – the following message was reached to all

‘Lets pay heed to the SOS

Our Mother Earth is in distress

We need to  wake up and be possessed

With a passion to do our utmost

Check pollution, plants trees

And return her the beauty she has lost.’

This celebration will lead to the long term impact that helps the environment. DPS Pinjore, thus is playing a vital role in educating the young about various environmental issues like plantation, energy, saving water and minimizing pollution.

This year they took up the theme towards a sustainable society and development for their school magazine. They express their views taking pledge to improve upon the present state by participating whole heartedly in the drive to save the Earth. Some of the projects being presented here from the Magazine speaks for themselves.
