"Green School Initiative" is redevelopment of an existing school of Adivasi or underprivileged students from villages by utilizing the solid waste in a creative and unique way. In this project we involve the youth, as their creative ideas and hard work can create best learning situations for these poor children.
The Green “I” Initiative Foundation (previously known as The Green India Initiative), intends to achieve through this "Green School Initiative" that students of beneficiary school can learn sustainability by living it every day at school, so that when they leave school; these ideas will have become a part of the way they think and approach life. They will take these ideas home and into the workplace when they graduate.
