JMA Pilani Rajasthan - World Earth Day 2012

India today has emerged as a decisive environmental, social, economic and political power. Education is the key component of any environmental initiative, as it provides for sustainability and prepares future generations of global citizens.

Indeed it’s high time for everyone to remember famous author Ayn Rand quote "Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth". The first Earth Day event took place in the United States on April 22, 1970 and four decades later, the annual observance has become a global event, with an estimated one billion people from countries all over taking part in a multitude of activities which include a renewed call to combat global warming and protect the environment. The theme for 2012 is “Mobilize the Earth” to achieve the goal of saving the planet which as per a Native American proverb goes as – “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”

Established in the year, 2004 Smt Jamuna Mishra Academy – JMA which has been making rapid strides in early childhood education is presently one among the most sought after schools at Pilani. JMA Pilani which aims to be one among the top ranking schools in India today derives its inspiration from the quote “Information is just bits of data while knowledge is putting them together and wisdom is transcending them.” The school follows the rich tradition of observing various days of national and international importance on a regular basis to increase the current awareness among the students.

Addressing the students and teachers of JMA Pilani, Principal Mrs Booma Natarajan pointed out that God has given us earth to satisfy our needs and not our greed and urged them to leave a legacy for the future generation by following the 5Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore and Replenish. Avoiding use of plastic bags, understanding the importance of animal transport in rural and hilly areas, knowing more details about air and water pollution, rain water harvesting etc are indeed various avenues by which children can play a meaningful role to save the planet.
