Background

This initiative relates to the headmaster and students from the Swastik school in Deogarh district clashing against fellers and encroachers, helping a 121-hectare forest spring back to life. Through this action, trickle-down effects of replenishing water resources have been documented, with the wells in the rea bearing more water. It has prompted other schools in the region to get involved in similar efforts, creating eco-clubs in the process.
