The move aims to foster awareness among students and staff about the environmental benefits of public transportation.

According to a circular released on Thursday, the DoE has outlined a series of recommended activities for schools to promote the Delhi Metro.

Principals have been advised to organise guided tours of nearby metro stations and short metro rides for students. These activities are intended to help students experience first-hand the efficiency and convenience of the metro system while learning about its environmental impact.
