GUWAHATI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded a school in the Kamrup (M) district of the state in his 106th episode of Mann Ki Baat for its valuable services in the Swachh Bharat and Waste to Wealth sectors.
“Whenever it comes to Swachh Bharat and ‘Waste to Wealth’, we see countless examples from every corner of the country. A school named Akshar Forum in Kamrup Metropolitan District of Assam is relentlessly performing the task of inculcating Sanskar & values and values of sustainable development in children. The students studying here collect plastic waste every week, which is used in making items like eco-friendly bricks and key chains. Here, students are also taught to make products from recycling and plastic waste. This awareness of the environment at an early age will go a long way in making these children dutiful citizens of the country,” the Prime Minister said.
The school, Akshar Forum, is at Pamohi on the outskirts of Guwahati.
