Dear Parents, The National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes that “…certain subjects, skills and capabilities should be learned by all students to become good, successful, innovative adaptive human beings in today’s rapidly changing world. These skills include environmental awareness including water and resource conservation, sanitation and hygiene” (Para 4.23, NEP, 2020). Eco Clubs in schools are an intervention to enable students to take up meaningful environment friendly activities and projects, thereby developing sensitivity and an understanding for the ongoing environmental concerns and the right attitudes and deposition to address them. The idea of LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) was put forward at COP26 in 2021 and India is since committed to promoting a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation as key to combating climate change. Mission LiFE is a global movement promoting sustainable lifestyles and mindful use of resources to conserve the environment. As part of activities of Environment Club which is mandatory for all the students, it is suggested that various activities will be uploaded on Ecare portal and can be performed at home during the summer vacations on the theme “Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE”.
