In an extraordinary initiative aimed at tackling both the issue of waste management and the lack of access to education, Akshar Forum School, located in Guwahati, Assam, has devised a remarkable solution.
Instead of the traditional monetary fees, this pioneering school has adopted a unique approach. They ask students to contribute 25 plastic bottles per week as their “fee.”
The school’s innovation doesn’t stop there. The plastic bottles collected are put to good use. They are utilized in the construction of bricks, roads, and even toilets, contributing significantly to waste reduction and sustainable infrastructure development in the region.
This innovative approach at Akshar Forum School not only addresses the pressing environmental issue of plastic waste but also ensures that education is accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints. It’s a shining example of creative thinking and community involvement.
