“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that some one will save it” As we at Delhi Public School, Hajipur believe in Organic Learning to prepare the future generation for a more sustainable world. Paper recycling is a project taken up by class VII students. The students collect waste paper from the school and the take it for reprocessing. We have a well-equipped paper recycling unit where paper is reprocessed into pulp and recycled into sheets of paper. This paper is used for art work, to make certificates, print cards etc. This is a way of showing the world that we are doing our bit

The students are encouraged to participate in farming and other gardening projects which help them connect with nature and with one another thereby providing them an invaluable lesson of sustainable living, environmental respect and interest in outdoor activities. The produce of the organic farming is consumed in the school’s cafeteria ‘ Café Eatopia ‘ to provide healthy and nutritious diet to the students.
Vermicomposting :
The Vermicomposting project at Delhi Public School Hajipur is a huge step to empower children towards the very important eco-sensitive issue of waste management. Vermicomposting is the most eco-friendly recycling process to reduce organic waste and it is promoted in our school by students of Class VIII. Organic kitchen waste from the school cafeteria is segregated and added to the vermicomposting pit, where it is converted into manure with very high nutritional content with the help of red wriggler worms. This vermicompost is used for organic farming in our school. The students are also encouraged to carry out this process in their homes to make organic manure for their kitchen gardens. The students learn about the environmental hazards of organic waste dumping in our landfills and also about the benefits of vermicomposting to our environment.
Social Awareness :
Eco-sensitivity and Social Awareness clubs are especially formulated at the school to sensitize students about the various environmental, social and global issues. Eco-sensitivity is the major ethos of our school and we have various clubs like Paper Recycling, Vermicomposting and Organic Farming under this initiative
