" The wind of
technology and science are ready to let India sail to the seas of progress
"
As part of its diamond
jubilee celebrations, IIT Bombay organised student solar ambassador workshop on
1st October, 2018, under the Solar Urja through localisation for
Sustainability (SOULS) initiative. 16 students of Greenway Modern School,
Dilshad Garden, got an opportunity to be a part of this initiative. They were
accompanied by two teachers Mrs. Poonam Makheeja (PGT- computer science) and
Mrs. Heena Devgan. (TGT-computer science). It was a unique one- day
training program at D.A.V Vasantkunj, students learned to assemble their own
solar study lamps and gained skills on soldering, uses of renewable and
non-renewable energy, working of solar panels, PCB and so on.
Through this workshop,
scientific curiosity of students was piqued towards clean technologies for the
future, by making them "Student Solar Ambassador"
On 2nd of October,
tuesday, students went to vigyan bhawan, where our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra
Modi , inaugurated the first assembly of the International solar
alliance.(ISA).The same event marked the inauguration of the second IORA
Renewable Energy Ministerial meetings and the 2nd global re-invest. The
secretary general of the United Nations, Mr. Antonio Guterres, Mrs Sushma
swaraj, and other dignitaries were

The Prime Minister
addressed the assembly and also emphasized that if the dream of " One
world, one sun, and one grid " is followed, uninterrupted power supply can
follow. 100 students from various schools including students from our
school lit their self- made solar lamps at the inaugural function, as a
mark of their support towards clean energy resources. The event was telecast

It was a really a proud
moment for the school to share the event with great dignitaries. We took an
oath to utilize the power of solar energy so as to keep our environment safe
and to be inherited by future generations to come.
