Helping Focus
D.L.D.A.V Model School ,India
SAMBHAAV -
It is all about empowering students to build entrepreneurial skills, associate with NGOs like Sewa Bharti and Helpage India for helping special children and adults and support underprivileged to raise their level to greater heights by using their potential by helping them to take care of themselves. SAMBHAAV Enterprises is also the school's initiative to take care of the three Ps- People, Planet & Profit. The Profit earned is being utilized for helping the underprivileged and special children and diversifying our business at the same time. As a part of this challenge students had to do resource analysis of the school, its nearby locality and start up with a business idea.
GOOD EARTH PROJECT-
Eco Awareness Club has been formed in the school. It is an effort to sensitize students towards the protection and care of environment. In association with organisations like TDPPL, GLOBE, TERI, NCT Bhagidari activities on garbage management, water and air pollution testing, energy conservation etc. are conducted. The school uses a solar inverter, a paper recycling unit for eco paper making & a rolly polly machine for composting garbage. Students are also sensitized time to time through talks, competitions, pledges to use water and electricity judiciously as well as to minimise the use of polythene. To further teach students respect for their environment and be responsible citizens, the school assigns House Projects to House & each House is responsible to promote and sensitize students related to that activity. Students share the responsibility by working on projects like Go Green, Garbage Management, Save Water, Save Energy, Say No to Polythene, Foil Collection etc.

organic soap making
Sambhaav - was on its full swing in creating the new product for this year...Organic Soaps. Children are really enjoying making soaps using different organic ingredients like aloevera, papaya pulp, lemon juice, gram flour, rice flour, grapefruit juice, tulsi, tomato juice, almond powder and mixing it in a glycerin base....all set for an Organic care with Green Salvage!!
organic farming
Organic farming is a technique, which involves cultivation of plants in natural ways. This process completely forbids the use of synthetic inputs such as petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides. The students themselves, under the guidance of Mr. Sunil (professional agriculturist) and Ms. Monica, sowed the seeds of different plants such as tomato, bitter guard, brinjal and many more and are taking care of these germinating seeds following the rules of organic farming.
Handmade Paper
recycled paper out of the waste and discarded newspapers. it was cut it into a defined shape and using fabric paints we printed beautiful patterns and made coasters out of it to sell them as a part of the Sambhaav sale. By reusing the waste newspapers we are taking a step towards conserving the environment and natural resources thus justifying our 3P's motto - People, Planet and Profit.

Relationships are the essence of any festivity and it holds true for any Indian festival. Each occasion brings the family together which calls for a celebration.

Creativity in the air for people....planet..and profit!

Eco - enzymes project
Sambhaav Eco Enzymes have been the most in demand product of our business last year and so our team decided to organize our Launch Event for this year by launching this useful Product. The first lot of Eco enzymes was initiated in the month of April. Our young entrepreneurs collected the kitchen waste brought by the students as well as from the canteen and stored them in large containers in an isolated room. Jaggery was then added to the containers and the mixture was stirred from time to time. Since it takes 3 months for the product to be ready, the mixture was strained by the students in July, just before the launch event and packed in reused PET bottles.
