Lessons on scientific waste management will be included in school textbooks from the next academic year, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after honouring Haritha Karma Sena members at a function held at SMV Government Higher Secondary School here on Tuesday, the 77th Independence Day.
The Minister said it was important to create proper awareness of scientific and sustainable waste management in young minds, as it would have an enduring impact on society. This was why the topic would be included in textbooks.
