programme, a waste collection and disposal

centre was established. Door-to-door waste

collection was done and was segregated and

treated at the centre. The programme has

started segregating waste at household

composting within their premises itself.

Gangs of Hassanpur

leaders in village Hassanpur through an Dintensive triggering exercise on waste

management and open defecation. They are now

leading community mobilization processes and are a

part of all the developmental interventions in the area.

knowledge and resources to lead as change agents.

The team identified five households to be practicing

LF Shiksha School in the Mohyal Colony (Sector-40) now has two additional classrooms and an impressive stage for D

conducting cultural programmes, which has enhanced the appearance of the whole complex.

Nutritious mid-day meal is served to all the students daily. More recently, a team of 36 representatives of the Aid Matrix International Food Bank visited the Mohyal Colony School to have first hand experience of utilization of their contribution towards the mid-day meal. They loved serving food to the children and enjoyed dancing with artists in the cultural programme organized on the occasion.

To promote the creativity and painting skills of the students, DLF Shiksha Schools organised a drawing competition, which saw a participation of over 100 students.

With the growing number of girl students in the age group of 10-14 years, it was considered prudent to make them aware of certain vital aspects of this stage of life. Therefore, a talk was organized with the help of Dr. (Mrs.) Promila Handa of Chikitsa which was attended by about 60 girls and all the lady teachers. Dr. Handa covered the issue of sexual harassment also, which was much appreciated by the parents of the students.
