Mangaluru: The students of a government school in the Dakshina Kannada district have taken a unique step to transform the school premises into a food stop for wild animals such as birds and squirrels.
In order to provide food and water to the animals, students of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya located in Mudipu, have hung coconut shells on trees that are present all around the campus.
Speaking to ANI, the school’s principal said, “Students are taking a lot of interest in the activity. Various types of birds visit the school campus, making the ambience very nice.”
Stating that the initiative was taken up to make the children environmentally conscious, he said, “The one area where children need to be given exposure is the protection of the environment, upkeep of the campus, and the greenery in and around their homes as well as in their schools.”
“Using this small idea, we can have a great start towards taking up bigger initiatives to care for the environment,” the Principal added.
