Environmental Protection Programme
As part of environmental conservation efforts, it has introduced students to the art of composting, specifically Vermiculture and Compost production. Composting is a natural process where organic materials are broken down into simpler organic and inorganic components. This process requires four key elements: organic matter, moisture, oxygen, and beneficial bacteria. Organic matter comprises plant materials and certain animal manures. By breaking these materials into smaller pieces through shredding, chopping, or mowing, they accelerate the composting process, increasing surface area for more efficient decomposition. The resulting compost can be utilized in municipal composting facilities or local community composting initiatives, contributing to sustainable waste management and soil enrichment.
