Govt. to revive 2,000 eco clubs ‘inactive’ due to the pandemic

Many activities of the clubs will be taken online: officials

The Delhi government is trying to revive about 2,000 ‘eco clubs’ in schools and colleges, many of which became non-functional during the pandemic, according to officials. The department is also planning to make many activities of the clubs online and organise events and competitions to sensitise students. “We are trying to revive the clubs. Due to the pandemic, schools were shut and there was no way to organise events and spend funds on programmes. On Wednesday, we are organising a virtual meet with different organisations and teachers to brainstorm ideas on how to run these clubs during the pandemic. We will have to move at least part of the activities online,” a Delhi government official said.
