Bivisha’s approach to environmental education is hands-on and engaging, encouraging students to explore their hobbies in ways that promote eco-friendly practices.

Her belief that the environment provides a sense of peace, balance, and beauty drives her efforts to instill in students a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
Her connection with Vidhya Sagar Public School has been a significant part of her work. She regularly collaborates with the school on various projects, transforming environmental education into an exciting and meaningful experience for students. One of her standout initiatives was the Children’s Day celebration at the school, where she organized an engaging quiz competition focused on environmental topics. The students’ enthusiasm and knowledge were on full display, creating an interactive and fun atmosphere that highlighted the importance of learning about the environment. The event concluded with a memorable prize distribution, further motivating the students to continue their journey as environmental stewards.
Beyond competitions, Bivisha’s work at Vidhya Sagar Public School includes practical and impactful actions. One such initiative was the introduction of vibrant dustbins throughout the school as part of a cleanliness drive. This project aimed to foster a sense of responsibility and pride among students in maintaining a healthy, sustainable environment. The colorful dustbins not only served a functional purpose but also symbolized the school’s commitment to a cleaner future. Through such projects, Bivisha teaches students that even small actions, like using dustbins correctly, contribute to larger environmental goals.
In addition to waste management initiatives, Bivisha led a combined plantation program and batch distribution ceremony at the school. The plantation activity involved students and staff planting saplings around the school to enhance greenery and promote a healthier environment. This hands-on experience gave students the opportunity to directly contribute to nature, reinforcing the importance of tree planting in combating climate change. Following the plantation, Bivisha held a batch distribution ceremony for Rivers & Roots club members, empowering students to take on leadership roles within the club. Positions such as president, vice-president, and waste management head were assigned, giving students the responsibility to lead environmental projects within their school. This event not only promoted environmental awareness but also emphasized the importance of teamwork, leadership, and commitment to sustainable initiatives.
Bivisha’s ability to blend environmental education with creativity is evident in her organization of a Scrapbook Making Competition at Vidhya Sagar Public School. This competition allowed students to showcase their artistic talents while incorporating environmental themes, encouraging them to think critically about sustainability. The personal touch of having one of the students host the event added to the sense of community and connection within the school. The medal distribution ceremony that followed honored the students’ creativity and dedication, celebrating their unique expressions of environmental awareness through art. Such activities exemplify Bivisha’s belief that environmental education can be both informative and fun, fostering a deeper connection between students and the environment.
