Embracing Solar Power: Illuminating a Sustainable Future!



At Akshara High School, we have always been committed to nurturing our students’ minds and the environment around us. Today, we are thrilled to share our exciting journey towards embracing solar power and taking a significant step towards sustainability. 


As a school that deeply cares about the environment, we have embarked on this path to harness clean, renewable energy and reduce our carbon footprint. Mridula Chakraborty, our esteemed founder, has always envisioned Akshara as a place where students learn from textbooks and the world around them. She believes that it is our responsibility to instil in our students a sense of environmental consciousness and empower them to be agents of change.


On the day of the solar power inauguration, we had the privilege of hosting a workshop for our students on solar energy and climate change. Through engaging activities and discussions, we aimed to educate our young minds about the importance of renewable energy and its impact on the environment. The highlight of the day was the interactive session where our students eagerly learned about solar power and how it can make a difference in combating climate change. 


Mridula Chakraborty, our visionary founder, expressed her excitement about this milestone, stating, "At Akshara, we believe in leading by example. Our decision to go solar aligns with our core values of sustainability and environmental stewardship. We want our students to grow up in a world that values clean energy and understands the significance of protecting our planet."

As an institution that has always cared about the environment, we have previously undertaken initiatives like tree planting drives and rainwater harvesting to preserve and protect our surroundings. The integration of solar power into our school's infrastructure is another step in our ongoing commitment to creating an eco-friendly and sustainable learning environment. 



We extend our heartfelt gratitude to BNP Paribas and the Centre for Environmental Research (CERE) for their invaluable support in making this solar power project a reality. Their dedication to corporate social responsibility and promoting sustainable practices has been instrumental in empowering us to adopt clean energy solutions. Together, we are illuminating the path towards a greener future for generations to come. 

Here’s a glimpse of the day’s events leading up to the solar power inauguration and workshop, capturing the enthusiasm and eco-consciousness of our students!

Why art education?

Kunal Chakravarty Director - Communications & Fundraising AFAL At Akshara, we strongly believe that the Arts are an integral part of an individual’s well-being as they foster the young to become sensitive and compassionate adults . Artistic interventions and experiences help children engage more intimately with themselves, their surroundings and the world at large. The Arts create an environment of equality where children absorb knowledge, develop skills and express themselves freely without fear or prejudice, thus empowering them. Another driving force that makes us lean heavily on the Arts is the fact that a majority of our students are either first-generation school-goers or first-generation English learners. We are also an inclusive school, which means that every class has a mix of students with varied intellectual and physical abilities.  Thus, text-based education and cookie-cutter lesson plans are not something we can rely on and we have to find artistic ways to ensure ...
