एक पेड़ माँ के नाम – Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE
In continuation to the office letter dated 29.05.2025 and 09.06.2025, various innovative and
Eco-friendly initiatives under Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) have been undertaken in
Kendriya Vidyalayas in alignment with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
and the Government of India's vision for a sustainable development and green future.
As already aware, the KVs are participating in "EK Ped Maa ke Naam 2.0" campaign
launched on 5th June, 2025 at the occasion of World Environment Day. In this series of initiatives
one such impactful initiative would be the development of Miyawaki Forests, a method of creating
dense, native forests in a short span of time, even within limited urban spaces. This technique
Involves planting a variety of indigenous species in close proximity, encouraging rapid growth
and the formation of self-sustaining ecosystems. Even an area as small as 1,000 sq. ft. can be
effectively utilized for this purpose. Miyawaki forests mimic natural woodlands with multiple
.
layers of vegetation-canopy, sub-canopy, shrubs, and groundcover-and require care such as
watering and weeding only for the initial 2-3 years. The initiative significantly contributes to
enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality, and sensitizing students to environmental
conservation.
Further, in view of improving the green areas and their environmental significance
for KVs it is requested -
To identify KVs in the region that have spare area within the school campus for starting
The project of "Miyawaki" Forest. It is pertinent to mention that any land already earmarked
for future expansion of the school building or sports infrastructure, should not be identified
for the project. Preference should be given to the KVs having land 10 acres or more.
To involve all the stakeholders and mobilize resources through local partnerships, NGOs,
or parent-teacher associations (PT As), if required for the project of Miyawaki.
To instruct the Principals to register the "Eco Clubs for Misson LiFE" of their
vidyalayas on website ofhttps://ecoclubs.education.gov.in/ and upload the data of
Ecoclubs in the prescribed format on the portal before 31stAugust, 2025.
To direct the Principals to initiate a plantation drive in the Vidyalaya and achieve
the target by 31st July, 2025.
This initiative will not only beautify the school premises but also serve as a living
laboratory for ecological and environmental education. The list of identified KVs where the
Miyawaki can be implemented should be submitted in the Google sheet attached by 27.06.2025.
