Jahota's Net Zero School - Leading Rajasthan's Green Education Movement
Developing Net Zero Schools in Shreemati Kaushalya Devi Agarwal Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Jahota, Panchayat Samiti Jalsu, Jaipur School as Models for Waste, Water, and Energy Sustainability in Rajasthan
About the Project
In light of the pressing environmental challenges faced by government schools in Rajasthan, the concept of Net Zero Schools offers a transformative pathway. A Net Zero School is designed to balance waste, water, and energy systems, minimizing its ecological footprint while functioning as a living laboratory of sustainability.
These schools go beyond infrastructure—they actively engage students, teachers, and the wider community in hands-on climate action, fostering long-term behavioural change and environmental responsibility.
The overarching goal of this initiative is to develop schools as centres of environmental excellence and experiential education, where sustainability is not only taught but practiced through integrated systems of waste management, water conservation, and clean energy adoption.
As part of this vision, the CSR-supported project has been implemented at
Shreemati Kaushalya Devi Agarwal Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Jahota (Jaipur) as a demonstration model for practical, scalable sustainability solutions.
The project is supported by Finova Capital, implemented by Shri Krishna Education Society, and technically guided by Dr. B. Lal Institute of Biotechnology in collaboration with Prakrit.
This initiative sets the foundation for a replicable Net Zero School model across Rajasthan, showcasing how integrated, community-driven approaches can deliver measurable environmental and educational impact.
