Conservation









On November 1, Anoop and Niranjan led 10 children from Turia village on a nature trail in the jungle adjoining the village. On the trail, Niranjan identified various species of local flora and fauna and explained the need for conservation to the children. A similar nature trail was organized on November 20 for 12 students of Durgapur village.

On November 16, Anoop and Niranjan led 12 children of Telia village in a programme to dig a compost pit in school campus. Leftovers from the students’ meals and leaves and other organic litter will be put in the pit by the children and this will convert into natural fertiliser over a period of time. This will be used in the nursery set up in the school with our assistance.
