A number of CBSE‑affiliated schools across Himachal Pradesh have introduced sustainable uniforms and installed green walls as part of a new eco‑friendly initiative.
Several CBSE‑affiliated schools in Himachal Pradesh have begun a sustainability drive that includes the use of eco‑friendly school uniforms made from organic or recycled fabrics. The same institutions are also installing green walls—vertical gardens that cover classroom and campus walls—to enhance indoor air quality and promote biodiversity.
The initiative aligns with broader environmental goals set by state education authorities, aiming to reduce plastic waste, lower carbon footprints, and create healthier learning environments for students. Administrators note that the green walls act as natural air filters while also serving as live teaching tools for science curricula.
School officials expect the measures to inspire similar actions in other regions and plan to expand the program to include renewable energy installations and waste‑segregation systems in the coming academic year.
