*Sawjian, Poonch, June 5, 2024* — Model Higher Secondary School Sawjian celebrated World Environment Day in a unique and impactful manner by organizing a Cleanliness Drive at the tourist destinations Nehrian and Rangawar in the border area of Sawjian, Poonch. Under the guidance and supervision of Principal Anwar Khan, 160 students and 22 staff members participated in the drive, covering a two-kilometer area.
The event not only focused on cleaning but also on raising awareness about the importance and relevance of World Environment Day. The participants interacted with locals, informing them about environmental conservation. To further their efforts, the school installed green and blue dustbins at both tourist destinations and pasted posters to educate tourists about maintaining cleanliness.
In addition to the cleanup, the garbage collected was disposed of scientifically by digging a pit, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Principal Anwar Khan highlighted that this event marks the beginning of a series of week-long activities planned by the school to promote environmental awareness and action.
