Churachandpur: Schools across Churachandpur district are marking World Environment Day 2026 through the nationwide campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0” and the launch of Green Summer Camps under the Eco Club for Mission LiFE, scheduled from June 5 to June 30.
As part of the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0” initiative, schools are undertaking tree-plantation drives on their campuses or, where land is unavailable, in suitable community spaces. Authorities have been instructed to ensure proper care and protection of the saplings to improve survival rates. Students, teachers, School Management Committees, and local communities are also participating by taking the Mission LiFE Pledge during morning assemblies.
The Green Summer Camps, conducted under the Eco Club for Mission LiFE, will focus on seven key themes: adopting healthy lifestyles, promoting sustainable food systems, reducing e-waste, minimizing waste generation, conserving energy, saving water, and discouraging the use of single-use plastics.
Expressing gratitude to all departments and community leaders, Esther Chingneikim, ZEO and District Project Officer, Samagra Shiksha Churachandpur, said that while achieving the target of more than 23,000 saplings is a milestone, the true success lies in the enduring community spirit and convergence demonstrated by the people. She emphasized that all activities, including plantation drives, Green Summer Camps, and Mission LiFE programmes, must be properly documented with geo-tagged photographs and uploaded to the Eco Club portal.
