Education is not only about inculcating the goal of scoring marks in students. The goal of education is to raise awareness and concern for the environment around us. In this regard, every year on behalf of Wipro Limited, students are invited to compete on projects related to the environment at the national level.
In the year 2022, 1200 schools across the country participated in this competition and a total of 40 projects were selected for the final round. Among them, the projects of 20 schools were announced as winners at the national level and awarded at a ceremony held in Bengaluru on the eleventh of this month. Students of Kautilya Vidyalaya, Mysore, were selected for the national level for their project on water conservation and have earned the school the title of ‘Wipro Earthian School’.
