Diti Mookherjee: Project Update June 2007

In the sixth month of our Project, we are progressing well. The school projects are in the process of being continued with the new Core Groups in 4 schools in Kolkata. One school in Kolkata, due to internal administrative issues, started on the programme from June ’07 and should be able to take up their project work in August ‘07. The response from the new schools in Durgapur is very encouraging. The 2 participating schools are Government schools. They will be going on a Biodiversity Hotspot visit in Durgapur in the first week of July ’07, after which they will start working on the school projects.

1. Ananda Ashram Balika Vidyapith, Kolkata

2. Beltala Girls’ High School, Kolkata
