MCG and Saahas Alag Karo Program team organised the ‘Zero Waste Republic Day Contest for the students of grades V-IX across various schools of Gurugram. This competition aimed at sensitising people to be waste-conscious. It was held on 26th January, 2022 in which students submitted drawings, poems, slogans, and upcycled items made out of reusable products. It gives us immense pride to declare that out of 160 participants, Arshia Dhingra of grade 9th and Aarna Kapoor of grade 8th have jointly secured the third position in ‘Best out of Waste’ category which focused on 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) management topics. Arshia showed how to upcycle used polythene into a mat that can be used by people for various purposes. Aarna made planters out of used masks and used their strings to make handles for newspaper bags. Both were felicitated by Dr. Vaishali Sharma, Additional Commissioner of Swachh Bharat Mission Municipal Corporation, Gurugram. Each was awarded a certificate, sapling, and a goody bag.
