Gurgaon: Marking World Earth Day on 22 April 2026, Dharav High School, Gurugram celebrated Earth Week under the theme “Nurture Nature” through a series of engaging activities aimed at building awareness about caring for the planet, with parents also invited to participate. A special assembly titled “Plant it for the Planet” was organised, where students shared their thoughts on protecting the Earth, the importance of conserving natural resources, and simple actions that can help nurture and preserve the environment in daily life.
As part of the celebrations, students participated in an Earthenware and Wear Activity that helped them understand sustainability, eco-friendly choices, and the creative reuse of old materials for better purpose. Students also joined class-wise eco activities, with Class 1 decorating paper grocery bags, Classes 2 and 3 creating cardboard printing stamps and recycled paper mâché creations, and Class 4 designing bird houses using reusable materials. Through these initiatives, students were encouraged to adopt responsible habits and contribute towards a greener and healthier world.
Speaking about the initiative, Ms Aditi Misra, Director, Dharav High School said, “Earth Week is an important reminder that sustainability cannot remain limited to awareness alone; it must become a lived practice. When students actively engage with nature through creative and hands-on experiences, they begin to understand that even small actions, when practised consistently, can contribute to meaningful and lasting environmental change.”
Adding to this, Ms Ritu Jawa, Principal, Dharav High School, said, “Children learn best when values are connected with action. Through Earth Week, our students understood that protecting the environment starts with small everyday choices. We hope these experiences inspire them to become thoughtful and responsible citizens who care deeply for the world around them.”
The initiative was designed to help students understand that sustainability is shaped by everyday choices. By combining creativity with participation, the activities encouraged environmental responsibility and practical habits that can create lasting impact.
Through Earth Week 2026, Dharav High School continued its sustainability commitment and efforts to promote holistic learning by encouraging environmental awareness and inspiring students to contribute towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.
