Innocent Hearts College of Education organized an Online ‘Anti-cracker and Anti-plastic’ week on the eve of Diwali with the aim of propagating the message of celebrating eco-friendly Diwali and spreading awareness about the ill-effects caused by pollutants emitted from the bursting of crackers and burning plastic. Keeping our environment clean and green is very important and Diwali is the best time to decorate our houses and surroundings. On the first day ‘Toran-making creativeness’ competition and Rangoli competition with the theme of “the triumph of good over evil” and “Goddess Lakshmi Rangoli designs for Diwali” were organized in which Gurjot and Divya bagged first prize respectively.
On the second day the student-teachers and teacher-educators pledged that they would never make use of plastic bags which are a major source of pollution, instead they creatively prepared attractive Diwali gift packages with waste paper material. Slogan writing competition with pictures on theme of “This Diwali burst your ego not crackers” was organized on the third day. Palak achieved first prize by artistically writing the slogan -“Let's fill our minds and homes with lights and flowers. Not explosives and fumes”. Diya decoration and poster-making competitions were organized on the fourth day.
Next two days the student-teachers visited their neighbourhood and explained to their neighbours the various ways to celebrate green Diwali. On the last day online talk was organized in which the student-teachers discussed their experiences of neighbourhood visits.
Principal Dr. Arjinder Singh in his speech said that the main motive of these events was to spread the message of celebrating Eco-friendly and peaceful Diwali. He further explained to the student-teachers that the light should be illuminated from within each of us to follow the path of righteousness by overcoming our weaknesses and evil thoughts.
