About the Programme

Hawa, Paani, Zameen – Punjab Rakhe Haseen is a school-focused environmental education initiative implemented in collaboration with the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology, organised by CMS VATAVARAN, and supported by the Directorate of Environment & Climate Change, Government of Punjab.

Under the Environment Compensation Funds, this initiative promotes hands-on, experiential learning for school students—encouraging them to understand, observe, and act on real environmental challenges.

The programme focuses on three critical environmental themes:

  • Hawa (Air Quality)
  • Paani (Water Conservation)
  • Zameen (Waste Management)

Through workshops and competitions, students develop scientific thinking, environmental awareness, and leadership skills for a sustainable future.
