Students of the school attended the Environment & Wildlife Film Festivals held from 27th October 2009 to 31st October 2009 at India Habitat Centre.

India has been overtaken with an unprecedented economic growth in the past decade. The vision anticipated in the early years of independence, gathered momentum with the new industrial policy and structural changes in 1991 and gained fructification in the past few years. Uncontrolled and unsustainable growth, industrialization and urbanization has, however, resulted in acute environmental fall-outs, affecting millions of people.
