MUMBAI, FEBRUARY 10, 2010: Climate change, green house effect, Copenhagen etc… is much being talked about. However besides talking, Don Bosco Matunga decided to ‘DO’ something about it. Don Bosco, Matunga is happy to be a part of the green team, and this time taking it to another level altogether. Don Bosco, Matunga is one of the first schools to place solar cells or better known as Solar Photovoltaic cells on the rooftop for the production of Green Electricity.
The cost for fossil fuels is increasing gradually and so is the supply. Not much of the fossil fuels are left in the earth’s reservoirs’. Considering the fact that the student is reading this in his text book it was deemed necessary to give it a practical application. Thus in order to enhance the learning capacity of the student, (seeing is believing) the management opted to install the solar photovoltaic project. This is also an eye opener for many of the students.
We need to make our education more meaningful. Considering this as a Pilot project we hope to take it ahead so that one day we will say Don Bosco, Matunga is a school functioning on green energy. This is the green generation, to make the planet beautiful and clean.
