Even during the online mode of schooling, Navrachana continued relentlessly to connect with  peers worldwide, and take steps to heal the earth from the rampage of plastic disposal, be the  leaders to help the municipality to create awareness about garbage segregation and upskill themselves and peers to upcycle plastic, paper and cloth products. All of this was achieved  because the school leveraged technology to achieve sustainable development goals. Though they  never met their national and international counterparts in person, yet, some remarkable  achievements were accomplished by our students, when they innovated, collaborated, and  competed, with the sole motto of being the change-agents who inspire others in healing the  earth.

PLASTIC PROJECT – FIRST OF ITS KIND STUDENT CONFERENCE 

Out of the many environmental issues that haunt our planet, the issue of plastic disposal is the  one which is most difficult to tackle. With the passage of time, plastic production, and  consumption, though essential in a way, have been increasing at a destructive rate. As a result, plastic contributes a good large portion to the earth’s total carbon footprint today. 

Taking this very pressing matter into concern, students of Navrachana took the initiative of  launching its fight against plastic, and participated in the International Plastic Project. As their plan of action, they organised a spectacular international conference ‘Minimizing Plastic Footprint Navrachana’s Clarion Call- 8Rs Is All It Takes’ on the 16th of July. The conference invited students from different parts of the world, and its theme revolved around the 8Rs- Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Regift, Repair, Recycle and Rethink. Instead of mere factual theory, the students gave a multidimensional insight into the problem of plastics and its practical solutions that they were enforcing in their native places.
