Zero Waste Hour
The project came out with the plans from Municipal Corporation, Phuentsholing to celebrate "Zero Waste Hour" in the city and to keep the city clean. The students of Phuentsholing Primary School (Classes IV to VI) and the teachers joined this events and cleaned the school and its peripheral area. The members collected about 345 kgs of waste (both dry and wet) and disposed in the designated area.
The project was executed at the school level, keeping the theme, "Think Globally, Act Locally." The project plan was approved by school administration and all the students ranging from class IV to VI and the teachers were involved. The team cleaned the school and its peripheral areas.
