The introductory session was followed by a presentation and question-answer session. The session intended to educate the children about the harmful impacts of environmental pollutants on human health and environment. Presentations were given specifically on micro plastic, lead and mercury pollution. Audio visual graphics were used to help the children learn in an interactive manner. At the end of the educative session, two competitions were held – poster presentation and short message development for Facebook post. The students spontaneously took part in both the competitions and exhibited tremendously satisfactory performances.
