ABOUT OUR
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
GOOD
EARTH
Kindling
Sensitivity Towards the Environment
After receiving the ‘Award for Special
Recognition in the Business Plan’ category last year, we started working on the
growth and diversification of our business with aplomb.We decided to continue
with our handicrafts business of
making products from waste material. Apart from this, the students will also be
making jewellery items, cloth/jute bags
in the school during their Art and Club Activity periods from recycled material.
Students of Nursery to grade 10 will be involved in making handicrafts,
jewellery items, cloth/jute bags which will sensitize them towards
environmental issues and enable them to imbibe the three R’s – Reduce, Reuse
and Recycle in their daily life.
In addition we have decided to diversify our
business by preparing compost in the
school from dry leaves lying scattered in the school campus as well as planting saplings and flower cuttings
from the seeds of trees in the school campus. Eco Club students of grade 6 to
10 will render their services in production of compost as well as planting
saplings and flower cuttings in earthen pots.
Business team comprising of students of grade
11 and 12 will run the enterprise independently taking care of all the aspects
viz., financial, marketing and sales, human resources and production. They will
be engaged in various Fundraising events during the PTMs of different classes
during the period July – October 2016.
We would use the profits for a philanthropic
cause. We plan to establish a library in ‘BahuUdeshyaSevaSamiti, an orphanage
housing children aged 3 to 18 years, gift musical instruments to visually
handicapped students of ‘YatnaYuvaSankalp’ aged 14 to 17 years, gift school
bags to NGO ‘Souls for Slims Charitable Society’ and donate solar lamps to the
villagers of Harniyakhedi village who suffer from erratic power supply from the
profits generated.
