Bengaluru | Tuesday | 19th March, 2019

Summary:

We aim to make a long-term behavioural change with respect to critical environmental issues through Karo Sambhav School programme. The students were felicitated in the city on Tuesday.Pranshu Singhal, founder of Karo Sambhav, said: “We’re building a cohesive e-waste movement across India. Creating the infrastructure for collection and management of e-waste is needed and involving young people in the process is a smart move. The ever-expanding pile of e-waste is becoming too big to ignore, but the mitigation efforts on the ground are too few. We encourage students to join the movement.”Since July 2017, Karo Sambhav has engaged with over 1,800 schools across India, in collaboration with the state education departments, and the state pollution control boards..
