These awards recognize outstanding efforts in promoting integrated sustainability education and demonstrating meaningful, enduring engagement with sustainable practices and principles. The winning schools have set a benchmark for environmental stewardship through their innovative projects and hands-on activities.
Celebrating the Winning Schools from Uttar Pradesh
The recipients of the 2025 Wipro earthian awards include PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya in Gomtinagar, Lucknow, Upper Primary School in Gokulpur, Aligarh, and Prathmik Vidyalaya Vidarpur in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra. These schools were selected from over 2,000 submissions to the Wipro earthian programme, an initiative by Wipro Ltd, a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company. An independent jury meticulously evaluated the entries, ultimately choosing 25 winning teams for their exceptional contributions to sustainability education.
Innovative Projects Showcasing Fresh Insights
The projects submitted by the winning schools demonstrated fresh and insightful approaches to critical environmental issues such as biodiversity, waste management, and water conservation. Each project skillfully combined hands-on activities with reflective written work, highlighting the students' deep understanding and commitment to sustainable practices. The Wipro earthian programme aims to foster a culture of environmental awareness and action among young learners, and these schools have excelled in this mission.
Detailed Biodiversity Study at Lucknow's Kendriya Vidyalaya
At PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya in Lucknow, the Wipro team conducted a comprehensive biodiversity study across various school and community micro-habitats. Students actively documented local plants and animals, uncovering a notable shift from traditional to commercial farming practices in the area. A standout feature of this project was the documentation of species through detailed sketches, which culminated in the creation of a vibrant wall mural. This mural not only celebrated local biodiversity but also reflected the students' growing dedication to protecting their natural surroundings, serving as a visual testament to their environmental advocacy.
Waste Management Excellence at Aligarh's Upper Primary School
During its visit to the Upper Primary School in Aligarh, the Wipro team performed an extensive survey on waste management and sustainability practices within the school and the surrounding village. The school is committed to transforming itself into a ‘Zero-Waste School’ by rigorously implementing the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Innovative practices included producing compost from organic waste, generating biogas for energy needs, and creatively repurposing school waste into teaching materials and toys. These initiatives not only reduce environmental impact but also educate students on practical sustainability solutions.
Impact and Future Prospects of the Wipro Earthian Programme
The 2025 Wipro earthian awards underscore the importance of integrating sustainability into education, empowering students to become proactive environmental stewards. The success of these Uttar Pradesh schools highlights the potential for grassroots initiatives to drive meaningful change in communities. As the Wipro earthian programme continues to inspire and recognize such efforts, it sets a powerful example for other educational institutions across India to embrace and promote sustainable practices, fostering a greener and more responsible future for all.
