COVA programme inspires schools in Hyderabad to go plastic-free

Schools in Hyderabad are leading a campaign for plastic-free schools and elder care awareness under COVA's Compassionate Citizenship Programme. Students have pledged to eliminate plastic use and are engaging faith leaders to spread awareness on key problems to be addressed for climate crises and care of elders. Several school managements have agreed to make their schools plastic-free, with many more schools likely to join the campaign. Students have also developed actionable points on care of elders and climate crisis, including respect and dignity for elders and saying no to plastics.
