Eco-Friendly Ganesha Idol Making Workshop
Clean Ganapati ,Green Ganapati ! is the slogan chosen for the Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations this year.
Eco friendly celebrations bring awareness and responsibility amongst the young generation. In order to promote the usage of eco-friendly idols for a pollution free environment, every year a workshop on “Making Eco-friendly Ganesha Idols” is conducted in the school.
This year also, as part of the Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations, an awareness session followed by a workshop on making clay idols of Ganesha was organised by the Science Department.
The awareness programme was conducted by the NGO Green Climate led by Mr. J.V. Ratnam and his team. The programme was conducted on 4th September 2024 in the school premises between 11:30am & 1:00 pm. 40 students who are members of the Eco Club participated enthusiastically and made clay idols of Lord Ganesha.
C. M. Nitya, a student of Class 3 also contributed her handmade and eco-friendly idol. Students have exhibited their creative skills to create the clay Ganesha idols which were later kept up for display. Principal Madam Mrs. Indu Malini who graced the event appreciated their creativity.
The objective of the workshop was to instill a sense of environmental responsibility among the students and educate them to celebrate the festival in a sustainable manner and avoid harming the environment by using idols made of Plaster of Paris. Students were told to adopt more eco-friendly practices, such as making their own idols using mud clay, turmeric, or flour.
