Education Department Mandates Wet‑Dry Waste Segregation Classes in Schools under 'My Waste, My Responsibility' Campaign
The education department has introduced compulsory practical classes on wet and dry waste segregation in schools to foster early environmental awareness among children.
The education department has announced a new policy that makes practical lessons on wet and dry waste segregation mandatory in all schools. The initiative, part of the 'My Waste, My Responsibility' campaign, aims to instill environmental consciousness in children from an early age.
Under the new guidelines, teachers will conduct hands‑on sessions where students learn to separate household waste into wet and dry categories. The classes will cover the importance of proper disposal, recycling benefits, and the impact of waste on the environment.
Officials say that early exposure to waste management practices will help students develop responsible habits that can reduce landfill burden and promote a cleaner community. The campaign also encourages students to take ownership of their waste and to share knowledge with families.
The policy will be rolled out across schools in the coming academic year, with training workshops for teachers and the provision of necessary materials to support the practical lessons.
