TheTamil Nadu Pollution Control Boardhad announced ‘Green Certification’ for schools in the city, where the school children ride to school by bicycles or by walk.
Ninety per cent of the students from the participating schools should commute by their bicycles to their schools. Secondly, no person motor vehicle to drop these high school students within 100 metres from the school Gate. These are the two main criteria for participating in the programme.
The board will examine the details submitted by the school and will conduct verification and surprise checks in the schools to find out whether the schools met the required criteria.
