Keeping this in mind a ‘Disaster Management Workshop’ was organized for the students of Classes IX and X in which they were trained how to safeguard themselves and others during disasters like earthquake, fire, etc. A team comprising of five officials from Civil Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs conducted a Disaster Awareness Programme in the school. The team was headed by Mr. Amit Kumar, Instructor, Civil Defence. The entire programme continued for three days. This programmer covered the following aspects :

The team of civil defence officials spoke about disasters and their management, showed movies and demonstrations. Practicals were also done by the students.
A mock fire evacuation drill was conducted at the end of the informative sessions. Students of Classes IX - X were trained to conduct this drill which consisted of evacuating the school. The alarm bell rang and it was a signal for students and staff as they came out of the building in an organized manner. They took different preplanned routes so as to avoid any chaos. Everyone moved out of the school building safely and assembled in the school grounds.
A students’ rescue team was formed. They carried out the ‘Demo’ collectively performing the duties and responsibilities assigned to them successfully. A check was conducted by School Disaster Management Team and student in- charges to ensure that no one was left behind. Some students stayed back in the school building as injured victims and were evacuated by rescue team on make-shift stretchers. Students used fire extinguishers to douse small fires.
A Disaster Management team has been formed in the school based on the guidelines and training session taken by the Civil Defence Officials. Duties and responsibilities of each official in the school disaster management team have been duly defined to carry out the exercise in emergency situation due to fire, earthquake etc.
This drill conducted by school with the Civil Defence Personnels provided great learning experience to students and staff and equipped them for any future disasters.

With the confidence generated among the SGS community after this training, more such mock drills will be organized in school at regular intervals to raise the preparedness for any disaster!

There was a time when it was counted high
To be a patriot – whether by the zeal
Of peaceful labour for the country’s weal,
Or by the courage in her cause to die.

A group of teachers from the school attended training – cum – workshops in CSE (Centre for Science Environment). This team held a workshop for the other teachers of the school and started training the students of the Eco Club. This programme helped them understand their role in sustainable use of natural resources.
Teachers trained the students of Eco Club to audit various resources used by the school, which included Air, Water and Energy. Students went around the school in groups collecting the required data. They thoroughly enjoyed learning by doing and in their own way helping the environment blossom. Their dedicated efforts paid off as our school was ranked amongst top 15 schools shortlisted for the Delhi State Green School Awards 2010.
