From the natural intersection of our work in these domains came the need to support and drive sustainability thinking and action through learning processes in schools and colleges across India. This was the genesis of the Wipro earthian program.<\/p><p>Started in 2011, Wipro earthian, brings together two of our key concerns: education and sustainability. This national-level program engages with schools, school networks, and colleges in 29 states and 3 union territories across India through a partner network of sustainability educators. Through this program, we also host a national sustainability quiz program for colleges, organize a unique internship program for college students, and collaborate on long-term academic partnerships with some of the leading higher education institutions in India.<\/p><p>Over the last decade, more than 8,000 teachers working with public schools across the country have joined the Wipro earthian schools program. We acknowledge, appreciate, and applaud the teachers who have volunteered and participated in this program. While they teach mainstream subjects, they have a common interest in environmental education and many of them have continued to work and guide students year on year in the program. They are driven by the vision to sensitize young minds on the importance of sustainability and conservation, \u00a0and by an intrinsic motivation to spearhead responsible collective action.<\/p><p>The past couple of years have been challenging in many ways for all of us, and more so for teachers who have had to adopt virtual classrooms. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we saw that their interest in the program has not waned. They have continued with the same vigor and drive, to guide and inspire their students to participate in the program.<\/p><p><strong>This month, with Teachers\u2019 \u00a0Day being celebrated, we would like to feature and recognize the incredible work done by teachers across the country. These teachers are all part of the Wipro earthian community and have contributed towards mainstreaming environmental education in their schools and communities.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4ec9c7e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4ec9c7e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6be9dea\" data-id=\"6be9dea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f88f7d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f88f7d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wiprofoundation.org\/earthian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ms.-Rinku-Das.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2299\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiprofoundation.org\/earthian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ms.-Rinku-Das.png 150w, https:\/\/wiprofoundation.org\/earthian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ms.-Rinku-Das-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/wiprofoundation.org\/earthian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ms.-Rinku-Das-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/wiprofoundation.org\/earthian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ms.-Rinku-Das-48x48.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3cf5711\" data-id=\"3cf5711\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-683887e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"683887e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Ms. Rinku Das<\/strong>, Assistant Teacher at the Baruipur Girls\u2019 High school in South 24 Parganas district, West Bengal says, \u201cAs a teacher, it is our responsibility to equip our younger generation with environmental education, so they can raise their voice to stop human-induced climate change.
