SwitchON Foundation on the occasion of Nature Conservation Day, initiated its Inter School Clean Air Championship Program through a waste management drive and a virtual meet across the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. This initiative is supported by the Clean Air Toolbox Program of Columbia University, New York. There are multiple organizations supporting the interschool clean air championship program like Earth Day Network, WWF, Garbage free India, National Museum of Natural History, Ministry of Forest Environment and Climate Change.
�In the Waste Management Drive, the children collected wastes from their home like plastic, cardboards, bottles, e- wastes like earphones, headphones, broken parts of appliances or electronics and collected and segregated it at their schools and handed it over to the recyclers or ragpickers. Through this initiative, the children added to the circular economy by reducing and recycling the waste at their level. 15 Schools from West Bengal like Birla High School Mukundapur, Chetla Boy's High School, Shri Shikshayatan School, Sri Sri Academy, Heritage School, Sushila Birla Girls School (Kolkata), Talit Goureswar High School (Purba Bardhaman), Durgapur Rai Rani Devi High School (DURGAPUR), GPS MEMORIAL SCHOOL(Howrah) participated in the Waste management drive engaging more than 200 children.
