GREEN SCHOOL AWARDS 2012
The Gobar Times Green Schools Award is a platform to acknowledge and reward schools which have adopted the most innovative and effective practices to manage natural resources within their own premises.
Conceptualised by the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), it is conducted at the national level every year, with schools from across India participating in the annual awards ceremony.
What is the Green Schools Award?
The award is based on an audit of the school’s environmental practices, carried out by its own students, following a set of guidelines specified by CSE in the Green Schools Programme (GSP) manual (2007 edition). The aim of the award is not merely to rate, but to encourage and support schools to build up an environmentally aware, active and skilled community of teachers, students and parents.
Beginning this year (2009), the National Green Corps – State nodal offices will be conducting the Gobar Times Green School awards at the state level, where only schools of that state will be eligible for participation. The winners will then be nominated for the National awards that will be organised by CSE in February, 2010.
States conducting their own awards ceremony have laid down the information necessary for participation from schools in form of Information sheets. Click on the name of the state your school is located in to download Information sheet applicable to your school. Schools belonging to other states/UTs can download ‘All other states and UTs’ Information sheet.
