On October 4, 2024, Form 4 students from The Pupil International School visited Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) in Nandanam as part of their “How the World Works” theme. This field trip offered valuable insights into the metro system’s operations and its sustainable practices.
Students toured the railway station and participated in an informative presentation that highlighted CMRL’s initiatives, including regenerative braking, the creation of Miyawaki mini-forests, and the installation of solar panels. These efforts exemplify CMRL’s commitment to reducing the city’s carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly urban transport.
Overall, the experience significantly enhanced students’ understanding of environmental conservation and sustainable development in urban contexts.
