GYALSHING, 15 Apr: Middle Gyalshing Secondary School of West Sikkim introduced a shramdaan/ gardening/ social work day in the school. In this regard every Friday, prior to the second Saturday of the month would be devoted to promotion of these values, through various works and tasks such as gardening, cleanliness drives and other social awareness programmes.
The first day of the programme on 07 March was devoted to gardening where all the houses were allocated separate areas for gardening. All the students displayed their talents and creativity. Students also collected waste jerrycans and planted flowers in them.
This day inculcates a sense of belongingness and social responsibility with values such as love for environment, conservation of the environment and principles of waste management. All the students worked according to their potential.
Students used the waste land for plantation and all the students brought flowers, manure and bamboos from their own homes. The second programme was held on 11 April.


[We invite students from across the state to share their views, news and any written piece in this section. Writings could include short stories, poems, essays, etc. Photographs with captions can also be sent at sikkimnow@rediffmail.com or you could also drop in at our office at Daragaon, Near Ayurvedic Clinic, Tadong.]
