LIFE AS WE SEE

THERE ARE HUE & CRY TO GO ECO-FRIENDLY. But in today's every minute changing world, this rather becomes impossible, having multi-storeyed schools,colleges. Either the management or the stundents should be aware of the pollution crept in one form or the other...Things have their own place and here I put an example of pollution free, eco-friendly and full of simplicity unimaginable with the metros or big cities people....This is a school called Aman Setu school, (bridge of peace), located at the outskirts of Pune having green fields outstretched eitherside of a two storeyed structure with 4 classrooms. The students sit on ratten mats on a cowdung plastered floor. The textbooks they use are handed over to them from other pass out students. The students grow their own vegetables in the adjacent small garden. The school structure is made of recycled material e.g roof from old hoardings, walls from plastic bottles. The uniforms are hand-stitched either from 'khadi' or hand-spun cloth...I remember such huts in villages, besides the pucca houses of the affordables. No hustle-bustle of cities and towns, no smoke-ridden traffic...The concentration is only on work or study..Times change, so villages but still thousands are eco-friendly houses in these villages, which reminds me of this school of Pune.
