Around 250 students of The Hyderabad Public School (HPS), Ramanthapur, participated in an e-waste awareness drive organized by the school's Eco Club under the Mission LiFE initiative on Tuesday. Students from Grades VI to XII took part in various activities, including essay writing, painting, seminars, rallies and poster-making, besides collecting electronic waste. The program aimed to educate students about the environmental risks associated with improper disposal of electronic items and the need for responsible waste management. They were also sensitized to the harmful effects of indiscriminate e-waste disposal and the need to adopt sustainable practices in everyday life.

Principal Dr. Narsimha Reddy said environmental responsibility begins with awareness and everyday choices. He said the school wanted students to understand the impact of improper e-waste disposal and practice reducing, reusing, repairing and recycling electronic products . Education, he said, should extend beyond classrooms and encourage young people to become responsible citizens who contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.
