EbA outcomes and learning sharing by students at Jalupa Secondary School, Baniyatar, Tokha

The project highlights the implementation of a rainwater harvesting and plantation at Jalupa Secondary School, Tokha, aimed at addressing water scarcity, groundwater depletion, and local flooding. Rainwater collected from the school’s roof is filtered through a rapid sand filter, stored for hygiene needs, and excess water is directed to a recharge well to support groundwater replenishment. Alongside this, plantation activities were conducted to improve greenery and promote environmental conservation within the school premises.

The project emphasized awareness and capacity-building, with students, teachers and local community members participating in information sessions on rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and water conservation. An information sharing session involving students, parents, teachers, and community members showcased the system’s benefits and practical applications. Student-led demonstrations strengthened learning and community engagement.

Overall, the initiative has improved water availability, enhanced the school environment, and fostered a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility among students and the wider community.
