In our country most of the population uses plastic material, such as carry bags, bottles etc. However, excessive use of plastic leads to a large amount of plastic waste. Plastic waste takes a long time to degrade and contributes to air, water and soil pollution. Taking this issue on priority basis our Incharge Ms. Medha Kadlag arranged an awareness programme for our NESKG parents on 31st January, 2020.
The resource person for the day was Mrs Asmita Gokhale (B.Sc Horticulture), Landscape developer and Consultant Founder of Athak Foundation, who worked for plastic free environment and has a vision of zero garbage City. The usage of plastic is not as much of a problem as its management.
Ms. Gokhale and her team have been working towards the goal of ZERO PLASTIC MUMBAI. Let's join hands with her for this noble cause. ''It is the worst of times but it is the best of times. We still have a chance to be a part of the solution and not part of pollution.
Parents appreciated this endeavour wholeheartedly, and made a promise to minimise the use of plastic and make the zero plastic mission possible.

There are people in our society who render their services, and make our lives smooth and easy. They are experts in their skills who work devotedly without any expectation. Without their help we are unable to function in our day to day life.
They are the COMMUNITY HELPERS, the backbone of our society. We take their help without being grateful to them. We should appreciate their efforts and also teach our kids to appreciate and thank them. Our kids are unaware of their contribution in our day to day life. Keeping this in mind 28th November being the World Thanks Giving Day, we had organized Thanksgiving day for NEKG.
Community helpers like Dentist, Nurse, Fireman, Policeman, Cobbler, Gardener, Tailor, Security Guard, Housekeeping Staff were invited and felicitated. Each person had brought their kit and gave informative talk about their work and guidelines on children’s Safety.

So for all this things we need not be insane but we need proper guidance. Then he gave examples of love marriage how at the beginning everything is good but when we start staying together we come to know each other’s faults. Then he gave one more example that when people retire from their jobs but act as if they are on the high post and everything should be still in their control because now they are jobless and then they go in depression. So for all this things we need to seek Psychologist to solve such problems.
The next category he highlighted core problems with children in various stages like Peudopsycholgy where some school are being trapped for fake assessment of their kids’ future. Then with the help of story he came to main topic that parent – child interaction namely
