Tiruvallur’s 1st Green, Zero-Carbon-Footprint Anganwadi was inaugurated today by @TiruvallurCollr Prathap IAS. No ribbon cutting — a string of mango leaves. Not just a lamp — a solar lantern. Children placed green fingerprints committing to protect the environment. (1/2)

[Padmapriya Baskaran @tspadmapriya]

The Anganwadi features rooftop solar, cool roof, RWH, recycled play spaces, composting, greywater reuse and a nutrition garden — turning an anganwadi into a living classroom for sustainability. Climate-conscious childhoods build climate-resilient futures. @SanFirstIndia
