Environment think tank awards 12 schools

Environment think tank Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) on Wednesday felicitated 12 schools across the country with the Green School Awards for making their campuses environment friendly.

This year, over 5,000 schools from across the country registered for the environmental audit. Of these, 1,600 schools submitted their completed audit reports to the CSE.

CSE director general Sunita Narain said, "Indian schools, we find, are increasingly becoming conscious of their natural environments and resources, and the criticality of managing them sustainably."
