School Students in Indirapuram Drive an Inspiring Plastic Collection Campaign
The young students of Orange County, Indirapuram, are spearheading a remarkable environmental campaign that is gaining traction and inspiring partnerships with various social development organizations. In just over ten days, this youth-driven endeavor has collected approximately 80 kilograms of plastic waste, marking a significant step toward combatting plastic pollution.
Hrishit Panthry, Co-founder of Envirocare Foundation, and a class 12 student at DPSG Vasundhara, shared his thoughts on the initiative “Our campaign, ‘BSG 25 Tonne Plastic Collection,’ is more than just a collection drive. It’s a movement led by our passionate youth, who are committed to creating a cleaner and more sustainable future. We have already witnessed the power of community collaboration, and we’re determined to reach our target of collecting 80 kilograms of plastic waste by October 6. It’s heartening to see the enthusiasm and dedication of the children in our society.”
Brigadier Dalip Kapur, President of Orange County RWA (Residents’ Welfare Association), lauded the initiative led by the youth, stating, “The enthusiasm sparked by these children has not gone unnoticed. It has inspired neighboring residential societies, and several social development organizations, including the Inner Wheel Club, are eager to collaborate with our community. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to our young leaders for catalyzing this movement. Our association is fully supportive and committed to nurturing the momentum created by these children.”
This initiative aligns with the Clean India Mission, launched on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), emphasizing the significance of a sustainable and clean environment. The youth of Orange County, in partnership with BSG and Envirocare Foundation, are demonstrating that small actions can yield substantial changes. Their inspiring initiative shines as a beacon of hope for a greener, cleaner, and more responsible future.
