The program will support the schools directly with ideation, as well as in implementing their environmental improvement projects. The program will also deliver HP technology to the schools, which will enable them to network with other schools and share best practices. The 18 month program will also engage and drive awareness among school students around environment through debates, contests, field trips and the like.

There are two important components to the program:
|
|
| Component 1: The program mentors the schools on different aspects of eco improvements and invites proposals from schools offering grants of up to US$ 1100 per school towards initiation of environment projects at these schools. The environment improvement projects can include improvements such as solar and other renewable power systems, rainwater harvesting structures and other energy efficiency measures at their campus. |
|
The program thus mentors, educates and thereby helps and encourages these schools to take practical actions to save energy and water while cutting their utility bills. The program will support the schools directly with ideation as well as the implementation of their environmental initiatives and also provide HP technology to the schools which will enable them to network with other schools and share best practices. TERI, an organization well established in the field of environment education with programs involving schools, communities and other beneficiaries at the grassroots level in environment conservation and awareness is well equipped to provide the guidance to the schools.
|
| Component 2: The second component of the program is student engagement. The program emphasizes strong student engagement across milestone through the 18 months period to raise awareness and encourage action on the different aspects of the environment. |
