The Notebook Project was successfully conducted at DAV Police Public School with the enthusiastic participation of 260 students from Nursery to Class XII. This marked the second workshop in the school, effectively coordinated and managed by the Eco Club, further strengthening the school’s commitment to sustainability and responsible practices.
The initiative encouraged students to actively participate in a paper scrap collection and exchange program, fostering awareness about recycling and waste management. An element of healthy competition was introduced among classes to achieve maximum participation, which significantly enhanced student engagement. Classes II Robin, IX A, and III Jaguar emerged as the winning classes with the highest participation, and their class teachers were recognized and appreciated for their efforts in motivating students.
Individual contributions were also acknowledged, with Yash (Class III Jaguar), Avni (Class VII A), Dushyant (Class IX B), and Hargun (Class X B) being recognized and rewarded for contributing the maximum paper scrap. The Eco Club volunteer team played a vital role in the smooth execution of the workshop and was appreciated with certificates for their dedication and active involvement.
Special acknowledgement was extended to the Eco Club teachers — Ms. Deepika Arora, Ms. Kusum, Ms. Reena Pawar, Ms. Preeti Jadon, and Ms. Tanushree — for their consistent guidance, coordination, and efforts in successfully organizing and managing the workshop.

The competitive element among classes encouraged higher involvement and teamwork, while also instilling a sense of responsibility towards environmental conservation.
The project served as an effective platform to build sustainability-based practices within the school ecosystem, motivating students to adopt eco-friendly habits in their daily lives. It not only supported environmental awareness but also contributed to students’ overall development by promoting responsibility, collaboration, and conscious decision-making.
Overall, the Notebook Project stands as a meaningful step towards nurturing environmentally responsible and aware citizens, while integrating sustainability into the school culture.
