REPORT WRITING

Soon You May Have Nothing to Drink

New proposed law says all ready to-drink beverages have to comply with EU norms for packaged water

The Diktat
All ready to drink beverages will have to follow EU pesticides limits for water: a ministry of health notification.

What it means
All your favorite drinks fruit juices, tea coffee from vending machines, colas, milk shakes, even alcohol could disappear from the shelves.

Where is the catch

EU and the US have the pesticide norms for water and for raw agricultural products like tomatoes apples and oranges, but not for beverages. Milk, fruit pulp and sugar have their own minimum norms, which are much higher than that of water EU limit for pesticide in water: 0.0005 mg per litre. EU limit for DDT in tomatoes, mangoes and apples : 0.05 mg per litre 100 times the limit for water EU limit for malathion in mangoes and apples: 0.5 mg, 1000 times the limit for water

According to the proposed norms, the pesticide limit ion fruit juice would also have to be same as that of water: 0.0005 mg per litre Impossible say experts

A report on the Activities of the E & I Club

Environmental issues are moving to the top of the agenda all over the world. As an institute, our school has dedicated itself to creating an informed citizenry in India, whereby environmental concerns have become a part of the daily decision-making process. Students of our school have been enthusiastic participants in our E & I Club activities. There is a need to expose our students to environmental concerns and make them responsive to serious issues that confront them. As a part of the all round development we have planned and carried various activities for class IX and X students: Students prepare audio visual presentation on various critical issues relating to the environment. Students had put up nature-based game stalls in the Tiger Festival organised by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH). Students have been involved in the promotion of eco-friendly products like jute bags and recycled paper. Students attended an Air Quality Monitoring demonstration by TERI. A play was enacted by the students of class IX and X on the deteriorating conditions of our forest and the decimating tree cover. The message of 3Rs principle, proper waste disposal, segregation of waste, air pollution and use of alternative sources of energy was disseminated through debates and discussions. Our students participated in the Inter-School Quiz Competition and have qualified for the finals. Inter-section story writing and poster making competitions were organised during the Diwali week on the theme of Say NO to Crackers.

The above mentioned activities and many more have been undertaken by the E & I Club of our school, in order to sensitize the students deteriorating condition of our environment, which is a major cause of concern for the entire humanity. Presently our efforts are being directed towards the formation of a Green Brigade which would endeavor to make The Earth a better place to live.
