eco-friendly school

Dhananjay Shinde, a city-based architect restored the 100-year-old Udoji boarding school in Nashik with a green touch

What we love about this eco-friendly school? In summer, the students do not feel hot, thanks to an unceasing breeze. And in winter, the mud walls keep the students snug and warm without the use of sweaters or jackets!

The sustainable school also has a ‘rolly polly’ to convert waste into manure and a farm-cum-forest where each student gets to pluck vegetables. Furthermore, the school canteens have replaced all plastic cutlery with steel. India totally needs more schools like this!

Did you pass on used textbooks to younger siblings? The #TamilNadu government is reviving the practice to save trees, one school at a time!
