One-day climate workshops titled ‘Monsoon and children’ have been rolled out in all districts of Kerala as part of the Samagra Shiksha, Kerala’s ‘School weather station’ project.
The State-level inauguration of the workshop at Madhava Vilasam Higher Secondary School, Thundathil, Sreekaryam, here was performed by K. Mohankumar, former director of Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research at Cusat and winner of the Ministry of Earth Sciences’ national award, on Wednesday.
The Samagra Shiksha, Kerala will organise a ‘national climate study congress’ in September as part of the next phase of the weather station project launched last year in higher secondary schools where Geography is a main subject. The congress will create awareness of climate change, natural disasters, and environmental conservation and will be another feather in the cap for the weather station project that has become an important initiative in climate study by children in State schools.
