Abstract:

Being committed to popularize science and creating general awareness about the protection of eco systems and environment I have organized 5 clubs ie Raman sciece club Dhanaula, vipnet affiliation number v-2617002,Suhird yadgari science club KattuV2617003, Galilieo science club DangarhV2617004, Joule science club manna pindi DhanaulaV2617005, Homi Bhabha science club V2617006. Through these clubs I am permoting the awareness about 5 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, refuse) related to save the environment . My other concern as a teacher, physics lecturer, science activator, environment friendly ,well wisher of the society I am conducting science programmes to teach the students about the scientific methodology to be applied for solving the day to day problems by using what, why, how, when and where. I have created physics center in my school which consists of nine rooms. These rooms are physics lab, dark room, office, multipurpose room, library, domonstration hall, meeting hall, observatory hall, gallery room. These rooms contain story of physics and technology, physics posters, story of water, story of pesticides, slide projector, television, cd, laptop with projector, telescope, microscope, amplifier, taperecord, teaching learning materials, numbers of low cost teaching aids of physics and environment. I encourage the students not of my school only, but also of the schools of the surrounding areas to visit the physics center. The aim of the teacher should be to make the students think scientifically, act scientifically. With my effords the most of the students have learned to think green, eat green, read green and build green.
