Similar seminars are being conducted in both government and private schools across the city, ensuring a wide reach and a comprehensive understanding of the importance of cleanliness and proper waste disposal.

Practical training sessions, including waste packing and waste segregation activities, are being organised within school premises to provide students with hands-on experience. These activities aim to sensitize the students about the practical aspects of waste management, encouraging them to implement responsible waste practices in their daily lives. The Punjab government's commendable initiative has garnered praise and appreciation from both students and parents alike. The positive response underscores the collective understanding of the crucial role waste management and cleanliness play in maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment.
