GANGTOK, 28 Mar: Continuing the series of engagement to
create awareness about Solid Waste Management amongst school students of Junior
High Schools within the jurisdiction of the Gangtok Municipal Corporation, the Engage
Quiz was held at BP Rai Junior High School at Arithang and North Point School
at Burtuk on Wednesday. Engage Quiz is the first of the three interventions of
Engage 14.
A press release informs that more than 300 students of the two
schools participated in the quiz competition and also took home the message of reduce,
reuse and recycle. The Engage Quiz intervention also highlighted the importance
of reducing waste from households, intelligently reusing household items and
not throwing it just after one use. The program also highlighted the aspect of
not burning waste and more importantly not burning electronic waste as it could
be hazardous to our health as well as the environment.
The students and the teachers of the school appreciated the
efforts of the Gangtok Municipal Corporation in bringing awareness and such
events to the junior high schools, the release mentions.
