Hyderabad (NSS): Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd, in collaboration with government schools, organised Clay Idol Preparation Workshop at the School in Sri Ram Nagar, Rahmath Nagar Division, Yousufguda. The initiative by the Ramky group is to help educate the children about eco-friendly ways to celebrate festivities and will spread awareness among people to consciously adopt idols that are eco-friendly in nature and contribute their bit in retaining the environment safety.

The event was attended by some 1,000 students from the schools and BIG 92.7 FM RJs hosted the programme. Sujiv Nair, Chief Human Resource Officer, Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd and M.A Shafi, GHMC Corporator, Rahmath Nagar Division were present.

Speaking on the occasion, Sujiv Nair said that, "Children's attitude towards living things develop at young age. They will imitate the attitudes and actions towards caring of the environment that you model for them. The green Ganesha from Ramky is one such initiative to develop in children a sense of caring and respect for the nature."
