Events will include quiz competitions, Earth-themed songs, cleanliness pledges, and awareness rallies. Students will also motivate others not to litter and to contribute toward maintaining a clean environment. 

Street plays will be performed to raise awareness about environmental pollution and promote the use of renewable energy sources. Currently, Eco Clubs conduct cleanliness drives every Saturday. Starting April 22, a series of Earth Day events and competitions will be rolled out to further strengthen this mission.
