Every Saturday, groups of students visited nearby villages where they noticed hundreds of unused clay pots lying abandoned. Determined to showcase “reuse in action,” they collected over 500–600 clay pots and, with teamwork in their STEM lab, converted them into 150 birdhouses and 100 bird feeders. Leftover mid-day meal food was used to fill the feeders, linking waste management with animal welfare.

The results were immediate and inspiring. Sparrows, pigeons, and starlings began nesting in these structures, with more than 50 bird pairs now thriving on campus. Alongside, 100 wooden birdhouses built by students further expanded the colony, creating safe habitats for birds and hands-on climate education for students.

Key Outcomes & Impact

1. 150 clay birdhouses and 100 feeders installed.
2. 500–600 clay pots recycled and repurposed.
3. Over 50 bird pairs successfully nesting.
4. Mid-day meal leftovers utilized for feeders.
5. 4,000+ community members engaged across 10 villages.
6. Practical environmental education for students.

Community Engagement

This project directly reached 4,000+ people across 10 villages. Students not only collected materials but also showcased practical models in village gatherings, inspiring households to replicate the idea. By linking waste reuse with biodiversity conservation, this initiative built strong community participation and awareness.

Innovative Use of Clay Pots

1. Bird Nesting Homes
2. Termite Traps for farms & houses
3. Pots for utilizing leftover Mid-Day Meals
4. Hanging Water Pots
5. Anti-Fungal Plant Systems
6. Decorative Garden Pots
7. Clay-Pot Irrigation (for saving water)

This initiative shows how small, creative steps by Eco-Clubs can lead to big wins for climate action and biodiversity.
