This is the very short story of Environmentalist Sunita Khanna & Mission Green Delhi Community member, who has been making huge impact on life of Delhi people, specially, future of India, our students. About whom what Ms. June Fernandes (Founder Principal DPS, Rohini) said. Quoting her in my blog post:
“Congratulations my dear Sunita — even when I was in DPS Mathura Rd and came in touch with you, my admiration knew no bounds watching you work so fervently and with a smile on your face despite the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
And that you have continued to give of yourself to humanity is nothing short of godliness 🙏
I am proud to have known you Sunita and consider it an honour that you reconnected.
God bless!
🤗🤗🤗💕

Sunita Khanna, supported by her daughter Vinnie Khanna Mathur, Associate Dean of Students; Head-Student Life & Engagement at Shiv Nadar University has started an innovative initiative to transform traditional usage of pencils, pens, notepads and return gifts into something which inspires students to participate in environmental protection campaigns and hence channelizing their energy into right direction.
These eco-friendly products include plantable seed pencils and pens, notepads and bamboo products like tooth brushes and combs etc. Manufactured out of newspaper & starch waste, these innovative products come from the people who could not reach biggest marketplace for these innovative solutions. Sunita Khanna is acting as a bridge between producers of these seed-based environment friendly products and educational institutions, corporates and societies to create awareness for recycle reuse & reduce of waste we create in our daily lives. She has also been working on promoting & producing cloth bags through her NGO.
Along with her friends, Sunita Khanna is passionately running an organic farm in Gurugram to create awareness to maximize usage of pesticide free fruits and vegetables.

It was totally eco-friendly event. No tissue papers were used. Plates made of sugarcane bagasse were used. Tea was also served in kullads which were later used for bordering the flower beds in the park. I tried to make it minimum waste event.
