The calendar has been framed with the objective of transforming schools into laboratories for environmental conservation and sustainable development. It is being regarded as an important initiative towards strengthening green culture in schools and translating the objectives of Mission LiFE into action. According to the calendar, activities based on the theme ‘Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle’ will be organised throughout the month of July.
Their objective is to develop among students a practical approach towards nature conservation, environmental responsibility, and a sustainable lifestyle. The calendar places special emphasis on the participation of parents and the local community, so that environmental conservation does not remain confined to schools but becomes a campaign of public participation. The stated aim is to instil practical values among children that will make them sensitive towards nature and responsible citizens. The most prominent activity planned for July is the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0’ campaign. Under this campaign, plantation drives will be carried out in school premises, public places, and other suitable locations in accordance with local conditions. Students will be made aware of the scientific, social, and environmental significance of plants, so that they not only plant saplings but also take a pledge to protect them. As part of the calendar, students will be entrusted with the responsibility of caring for, watering, protecting, and regularly monitoring every planted sapling.
Every student is to become the guardian of a plant under this arrangement. Schools will review the progress of the plants through Eco Clubs and will also encourage community efforts related to environmental conservation. During July, poster-making, slogan-writing, collage-making, creative writing, debates, and other creative competitions will be organised in schools as part of the calendar. Nature walks will provide students with first-hand exposure to local biodiversity, plants, and natural resources. Special environmental awareness programmes will be organised on the second Saturday of the month, and students delivering outstanding performances during the month’s activities will be honoured. The calendar sets out a full month of scheduled activity, running from tree plantation and nature walks to poster-making, slogan-writing and debates, with Eco Clubs in individual schools tracking progress through the month. Parents and members of the local community have been drawn into the calendar’s activities alongside students, so that the environmental conservation drive extends beyond the school premises into the wider community.
