Groundwater Day and Rainwater
Harvesting Project at CMS
Groundwater Day was celebrated with great zeal and
enthusiasm at CMS Gomti Nagar II on 21 July 2012 to make
the students and youth aware of the growing need to
conserve water resources and save the environment from
depletion. On this occasion, the Chief Guest, Mr Rajan Shukla,
IAS, Secretary, Horticulture, Stamp and Registration said that
water is a free gift of nature and we cannot even imagine life
without water. He said that throughout the world, the water
table is receding at an alarming rate. This has given rise to the
concern of scholars who are predicting that the third World
War will be fought over water. If we have to save mankind
from a third Word War, we must take concrete steps to save
water resources on earth.
CMS launches 'Ummeed'
For promoting education among girls, CMS launched a special
programme called 'Ummeed' for girls belonging to the
weaker and poorer sections of society, on 15 July 2012. This
programme was formally launched by Mrs Dimple Yadav, the
Hon'ble Member of Parliament and wife of Chief Minister, Mr
Akhilesh Yadav at the International Media Conference held at
CMS Kanpur Road auditorium. Under this programme free
literacy classes are being held everyday for girls aged between
6 to 11 years at CMS Station Road Campus. Everyday for one
hour, girls get an opportunity to study, learn and develop
socially. Some students and teachers of CMS Station Road
have volunteered to teach 20 girls enrolled in Ummeed so far.
Commending this initiative of CMS to uplift the girl child,
Hon'ble Mrs Dimple Yadav sanctioned financial assistance of
Rs. 11,000/- to each of the 20 underprivileged girls who have
joined 'Ummeed' in its initial stage. Ms Priyanka Bhardwaj,
Creative Head, CMS, is the co-ordinator for the Ummeed
programme. The programme has begun enthusiastically
under the guidance and moral/practical support of the
Principal of CMS Station Road Campus, Mrs Aruna Gupta.

ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS PROGRAMME
AUGUST 2012 (2)
CMS Goes the Green Way
Water and Energy Conservation Programme launched at all campuses as SUPW activity
Taking lessons of environmental sciences beyond
classrooms, CMS decided to introduce Water and
Energy Conservation programme in all its
campuses as SUPW activity. The idea behind this
programme is to lead by example and not just to
create awareness but to bring behavioural change.
During the first year water and energy
conservation will be made the centerpiece of
SUPW (Socially Useful and Productive Work)
classes in CMS while other issues like tree
plantation, air
pollution and
w a s t e
management
etc. would be
t a k e n u p
subsequently.

prepared to arouse mass consciousness towards environment
16 to 22 July observed as
Groundwater Week
CMS observed Groundwater Week at all of its 20
campuses from 16 to 22 July. As part of these
celebrations, the Goundwater Day was celebrated on
21 July and on this day Rainwater Harvesting Plant was
launched at all campuses. Various other activities to
involve students in environmental conservation project
including tree plantation, speech contest and poster
making contest to raise awareness about groudwater
were also organised. During this week, the students were taught about the ways to reclaim water and the junior engineers
deputed at all campuses illustrated its process in the prayer assembly besides giving tips to the students on environmental
conservation.
The Green Schools Programme
The Green Schools Programme is an inspection or "Survey" of the
school done by its students on its environmental practices (we call
it Environmental Auditing). CMS students form teams and go
around the school on an exploratory journey and find out what's
happening to the water, energy, land, air and waste in the school.
The team also explores how the school is managing these issues.
Use efficient lighting
Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents
(CFLs). They consume time less energy and last 8 times
longer. So you do not only cut your electricity bills
dramatically, you also save a lot of money buying bulbs.
Encourage Institutions, Govt. Departments to switch over to
LED Light (Light Emitting Diodes), though expensive, but
drastically bring down Electricity Bills
Use energy efficient electric appliances
In India, appliances like refrigerators and ACs have
efficiency rating labels ranging from 1 to 5 stars, the higher
number being more efficient. Use task lighting; instead of
brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you
need it. Use electronic chokes in place of conventional
copper chokes. Replace conventional regulators with
electronic regulators for ceiling fans
Use an energy efficient computer
Buy a laptop instead of a desktop. It consumes five times
less electricity. If you buy a desktop, get an LCD screen. The
screensaver does not save energy. Switching off a computer
extends its lifetime Minimize printing. Print on both sides of
the paper, using e-mail instead of mailing/faxing documents
– concept of a paper-less office. Use recycled paper-saves
trees & water for production of paper. Laser printers use
more electricity than inkjet printers
Drive less
Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport. You'll save 1.5
kg of carbon dioxide for every 5 km you don't drive. Use cars
that run on cleaner fuels such as CNG and LPG. Switch off
your car if you want to stop for more than two minutes.
Check your tyres
Keeping your tyres inflated properly can improve the fuel
efficiency of your car. Every litre of petrol saved keeps 2.5
kg of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Using radial
tyres will help you save 3 to 7% of fuel.
Use water carefully
Don't waste water. Use a mug of water when brushing your
teeth, shaving or washing your hands and face. Instead of
shower or tub bath, use a bucket. Try to harvest rain water in
your locality. It takes a lot of energy to heat water – use less
hot water and use efficient heating appliances.
Say no to plastic
While shopping take a cloth bag. Use recycled paper. Avoid
products with a lot of packaging. Move your Air-conditioning
thermostat up 2 degrees You could save about 900 kg of
carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. Set the
thermostat of the room air conditioner at 25C to get the most
comfort at the least cost.
Environment and Energy Awareness
Workshop
CMS organized an Environment and Energy Awareness
Workshop at CMS Kanpur Road on 20 June 2012. The
workshop was facilitated by resource persons from
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) New Delhi,
Mr Ashish Shah and Ms Ajanta Sikdar who trained CMS teachers and to
implement the 'Green Schools Programme.' Mr V N Garg, Principal
Secretary, Welfare of the Disabled, Uttar Pradesh, was the chief guest
while Mr O P Verma, Director, Department of Environment, UP, was the
special guest. It was on this very day that an international conference
on environmental sustainability was organized by UNEP at Rio De
Janerio, Brazil. Apprising the participants with the objectives of the
workshop, Chief Operating Officer of CMS, Prof. Geeta Kingdon said
that CMS believes that a school should concern itself with the affairs of
the age and in the present times, the state of environment is one of the
most important issues that we need to focus our attention upon.

Vision statement of CMS on Preservation of the Environment
CMS, as an educational institution with a difference, will strive to make a significant contribution to the protection of
the environment and conservation of natural resources, through is students, teachers, other employees, alumni and
parents. It will seek to involve neighbouring communities around its twenty campuses to help make the city of Lucknow
green, clean and eco-friendly. It will work through affordable, reliable and professional methods to achieve more
responsible use of natural resources. By changing its 45,000 students' mindsets in favour of sustainable living, it hopes
to make a meaningful environmental impact at the state, national and international levels.
SIMPLE TIPS WHICH MAY BE FOLLOWED AT HOME IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE
Plant more trees
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon
dioxide over its lifetime.
Turn off electronic devices
Simply turning off your television, stereo,
computer, fans, lights when you are not
using them will save you thousands of
kilograms of carbon dioxide a year.
Turn your refrigerator down. Refrigerators
account for about 20% or Household
electricity use. Use a thermometer to set
your refrigerator temperature as close to 37
degrees and your freezer as close to 3
degrees as possible.
Turn off the lights when not in use.
Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, looseweave
curtains on your windows to allow daylight to
penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colors that
reflect daylight.
Microwave ovens Consumes 50% less energy than
conventional electric / gas stoves.
Do not switch on the power when TV and Audio Systems are
not in use i.e. idle operation leads to an energy loss of 10
watts/device.
Turn off your home office equipment when not to use. A
computer that runs 24 hours a day, for instance, uses –
more power than a energy-efficient refrigerator. If your
computer must be left on, turn off the monitor; this device
alone uses more than half the system's energy.
Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to use sleep-mode
when not in use helps cut energy costs by approximately
40%.
Battery chargers, such as those for laptops, cell phones and
digital cameras, draw power whenever they are plugged in
and are very inefficient. Pull the plug and save. Screen
savers save computer screens, not energy. In fact, shutting
computers down when you are finished using them actually
reduces system wear – and saves energy.
Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators and freezers;
frost buildup increases the amount of energy needed to
keep the motor running.
Leave enough space between your refrigerator and the
walls so that air can easily circulate around the refrigerator.
Operate the ceiling fan in conjunction with your window air
conditioner to spread the cooled air more effectively
throughout the room and operate the air conditioner at
higher temperature.
A roof garden can reduce the load on Air Conditioner
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” - Mahatma Gandhi
THE CMS INITIATIVE
CMS, in the leadership of Professor Geeta Kingdon,
has taken the initiative to launch a massive
environmental drive in collaboration with the Centre
for Science and Environment, New Delhi as part of
the Green Schools Programme.
Saving the Environment
Our environment refers to the physical and biological
factors along with their chemical interactions that
affect our health and happiness in daily life. The air,
water, soil and sunlight are given to us for free by
Almighty God and are a part of Mother Earth. It forms
our natural environment.
Today man has become selfish and mean. He is
polluting the environment, Natural resources are
being used recklessly and wasted callously. Many of
these resources are non-renewable like coal and
petroleum and we must preserve them. They have
taken ages to form. Other resources like solar energy,
water, power and wind energy are renewable but
these must be kept clean and used carefully to fulfill
our daily needs of energy and water. Polluting the air
can be dangerous to our health and its effects may
cause several deadly diseases. In today's world, wars
are becoming more deadly with the use of chemical
and biological weapons and atomic bombs. Nuclear
bombs can destroy all the countries within minutes
and wipe out chunks of humanity simply at the press
of a button.
Use windows with sun films/curtains.
Plant trees of of shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but
not to block the airflow. A unit operating in the shade uses as
much as 10% less electricity than the same one operating in
the sun.
Think about your curtains. Keeping the curtains closed on
cold, cloudy days helps block the cold outside air from
getting inside. Also, keeping the curtains closed on very hot
days keeps the hot air out!
About 75 percent of the water we use in our homes is used
in the bathroom. Unless you have a low flush toilet,
for example, you use about five gallons to seven
gallons of water with every flush! A leaky toilet can
waste more than 10,000 gallons of water a year.
Drippy faucets are bad, too. A faucet that leaks enough
water to fill a soda bottle every 30 minutes will waste 2,192
gallons of water a year.
CMS Moral Education Department
conducts Educational Lectures
CMS Moral Education Department led
by its Head, Mrs. Vandana Gaur conducted
educational lectures at various campuses to
sensitize children about saving water and
energy, planting trees, rain water harvesting and
environmental protection. The facilitators used
songs and educational talks to motivate
students towards the conservation of
environment.

Climbs to the crest
Of a gust and pulls
Then seems to rest

If you fall seven times, get up eight times
Few days ago there was Open day in our school campus and
our computer teacher had asked us to make a presentation
for the Open Day on the given topic. I was really interested in
making the presentation and some of my classmates. From
the next day I started making my presentation at home. The
first day I made half of my presentation. But I had to complete
it by the next day. And I have a lot of work to do in it. The next
day some of my friends had already shown their
presentations and they were also selected. When I went
home, I started working on my presentation. It was late at
night but I had completed it. When I went to school, I ran to
my computer lab and I connected my PD in the CPU and when
I went to call the teacher what I saw was shocking because my
presentation was deleted. I had nothing to say.
But my teacher gave me another chance. I was very worried
how to make my presentation in one night. The work was
more and the time was less. It was 12’o clock at night when I
had finished my presentation. I went to the school and I
showed it to my teacher. She said that "it's very nice. You have
done it.' Listening this I felt like flying in the sky.
I went home and told about this compliment to everyone in
my family and they were very glad to know this. It was the
best compliment I had heard because I achieved it by my hard
work.

Geeta Kingdon spoke on the topic 'Getting to Equal'. In
her address, she presented some comparative facts and
data on rights to birth, survival, education etc. of girls
and boys. She said that female education has relatively
more powerful effects as it affects child survival, child
health, nutrition and education hereby contributing in
the overall health and development of the society.
Earlier, Organizing Secretary of the conference, Mr Rishi
Khanna welcomed all the participating dignitaries and
the audience. Head of CMS WUED, Mr Anirudh Singh
was the convener of this conference.
While addressing the conference, Senior Resident
Editor of Hindustan Times, Lucknow, Ms Sunita Aron
said that every woman should be proud to be a 'She'
and that in a democratic country like India, the power to
raise voice against every wrong lies with the citizens
and if they decide to speak up, they can indeed start a
mission of improving the world on their own. Senior
journalist from New Delhi, Mr Javed Naqvi said that the
problem of feticide is worse than genocide, racism or
holocaust and therefore it requires a political
movement purely dedicated to cause of women to deal
with. Mr Peter Vrooman, Spokesperson, US Embassy,
New Delhi quoted some statistics by Nobel laureate
Shri Amartya Sen and giving examples of Star TV's
programme 'Satyamev Jayate' and an Indo-US
Collaborative movement against human trafficking in
Kolkata, he said that media and technology together
have power to impact the thinking of the masses.
Dy. Director General, Doordarshan, New Delhi,
Mr Mukesh Sharma called upon the media to take up
this issue seriously. Quoting a Marathi slogan 'Mulli
Sikhli Pragati Jhali' (If daughter gets education, the
society prospers) and explaining how this slogan
became a hit in Maharashtra with media support, he
said that media has the power to compel people to
think and act. Former Director of CBI, Mr Joginder
Singh, IPS, said that feticide should be considered
equivalent to murder and a law should be passed to this
effect in the Parliament. Prime Time Anchor, IBN7, Mr
Sandeep Chaudhary said that girl child is usually the
favourite child for parents in most families but trying to
be over protective towards her we begin to
discriminate between her and the boy. He said that we
as society are not ready to take hard decisions and if we
give equal opportunities to our girls, the condition of
women would improve. Senior Journalist, Satish Jacob
said that we live in a hypocritical society. While most of
our popular deities are women, we are still murdering
over half a million girls each year. That way, India
repeats a holocaust every year, he said. Senior
Executive Editor, News 24, Mr. Rahul Mahajan said that
unfortunately we live in a society which has different
standards for boys and girls. Child Rights Activist from
New Delhi, Mr Sabu George said on this occasion that
sex selection was brought to India 40 years ago and
discrimination intensified when these tests became
widely available. He said that we must understand that
technology is there only to support the medical
profession and we have to respect laws associated with
it instead of supporting the companies which are trying
to make money from out of this inhuman practice.
Social activist and Professor, Mirinda House, University
of Delhi, Ms Bijaylaxmi Nanda called upon the teachers
and mothers to teach children about equality between
sexes. Mr Ajay Jha, Bureau Chief, Gulf News, New Delhi
said that media is only a mirror, it can only raise an issue
but has no power to compel or punish. He said that the
onus lies upon the society to join hands with the media
in rasing its voice and putting pressure upon the
government so that the protection of the rights of
women and child is guaranteed. Many other eminent
participants too expressed their views on the occasion.
CMS Founder, Dr Jagdish Gandhi said that press and
media plays a major role in building mass opinion
against various social evils and if this fourth pillar of the
democracy joins in the school's efforts to fight the issue
of gender inequality, a positive social set up could be
brought about. The conference concluded after an
interactive roundtable session facilitated by Mr
Sandeep Chaudhary, Prime Time Anchor, IBN7.

CMS, Prof Geeta Kingdon takes learning in CMS schools to a new height.
These Interactive Whiteboards have now been installed in all CMS
campuses in June 2012. All campuses have incorporated the use of these
boards in their curriculum in the junior classes and in some selected
campuses even the senior, primary and pre-primary sections are
benefiting from this new form of multi-modal learning. The subjects
taught range from Maths and Science to History and Geography,
Computers, English and Hindi.
The project is unique, because these Interactive Whiteboards are being initiated for the first time in any school in U.P. These
units are projector-based unlike the smart classes or promethean based currently used in various schools. This
revolutionary technology converts any normal surface into an interactive area using a small palm-sized gadget and a
projector.
With the start of the new session in July 2012, The teaching staff was very happy with this digitisation of the classroom and
finding it a very useful tool to make their learning effective and engaging. Features such as hand-writing recognition, option
of “saving” the class sessions and many more are particularly useful. In addition they can use resources from the internet
such as videos and images providing a “richer” and “more visual” learning.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
