| Students present the action plan |
The students seek to reach students in classes from standards 6–9 (age group 11-15).
Everyday actions of individuals add up and have a global influence both positive and negative. Everything human needs and use in their daily life involves exhaustive use of materials and energy. The students said that School is a place where students spend anywhere from 5-8 hours a day. In fact, this is where a considerable time of their waking hours is spent. The school time and space provide a wonderful opportunity for not only syllabus related learning, but equally, the development of life-skills through extracurricular and co- curricular activities, and interactions with peers. The school provides a structured opportunity to make every child a change agent. And every child takes back the experiences and learnings from the school to his/her home/community. This way, Eco friendly messages and actions will reach to households across their villages. The students have to carry out and complete at least five activities in each of these five themes. Most of the activities will be carried out in the school.The eco club students would carry out the activities in greater depth and spend more time on these. Of these activities, at least one has to be carried out in the student's family or community.The schools/Eco Clubs would need to document the activities undertaken and report the quantifiable changes observed. The Trichy Anbil Dharmalingam Agriculture college of Tamilnadu Agriculture University students said “The teacher is the key motivator and facilitator of this project. The teacher, working closely with students, needs to identify the local issues, curricular linkages to plan and schedule the activities to be undertaken, and provide the necessary guidance to students to undertake the activities in a systematic manner, taking care that the objectives are achieved. The teacher should encourage students to document and share the experience, processes and leanings from the activities. Teachers will prepare and submit reports in the required format.Dr.K.Govindaraju, Director SEVAI facilitated the project preparations and the students come out with clear cut plans for the implementation of Eco-club activities in and around the schools and neighbourhoods”.Earlier the students visited the Bio farming of SEVAI at Marutham centre,S.Pudukottai.-Govin
