From Trash to Transformation – Be the Change!
Himalayan Sustainability Championship or HSC is a free-of-cost fun, hands-on program for students from classes 3-12 that turns students into eco-champions working towards a zero-waste school. Student teams implement a systematic waste management program for their school campus under a Teacher Co-ordinator's guidance. Students also learn to creatively repurpose plastic and paper waste into useful products, thus practically learning the 3Rs through a transformative education program.
Who can Participate?
Open to all private and government schools of Uttarakhand, including Primary, Middle and High School. HSC 25-26 is also open to shelter homes, after-school learning and activity centrers from Uttarakhand.
