Target area and people
Schools with very poor environment and has no budget of their own to develop. Mostly community based schools are being focused.
Background/Problems of the project
Due to mountain terrain and poor landscaping practices in the schools, most of the schools were in very bad conditions and are not al all friendly for children. Dust during dry seasons and heavy mud during rainy seasons were some of the intolerable scenes in some of these schools. Some greening programmes would help minimize these problems and create the school environment into children friendly and learning environment.
Objectives/Significance of the project
To create a healthy environment in the school so that children will love coming to school to learn.
Description of the project
Considering the problems mentioned in table no 8, the Ministry of Education felt the need to improve the living environment of the schools. Plantation, grass growing and converting some areas into concrete are some of the activities under this programme.
Materials/equipments used in the project:
As required
Pictures and maps
Time span/Timeline
Each school was given one year time for implementing the programme. Since 1998 to 2003, ten schools had completed and showed good results.
Result/Self evaluation (success or failure) including its reasons
The school greening programme was a very successful programme and schools were happy with what they had done.

Some other nearby schools tries to replicate some of the activities on their own. Some school had approached the Ministry requesting for similar programmes but due to fund constraints, were not able to support.
Other learning from the project
Seeing lots of physical developments in the school converting the unwanted areas into useful and beautiful places, had encouraged many schools around and tries to replicate in their own school by their own initiatives
