It’s a sheer fortune that D.P.S Vanasthalipuram branch is situated in the heart of a stretching, sustained and sense-soothing verdure in the lap of uncomplicated and unpretentious nature. It is a legacy that should be nurtured by our students. We make them appreciate it by making them conscious, indulge in a plethora of activities concerning nature and the environment. The activities undertaken are aimed at sustainable development.

Jute bags are being increasingly used by both students and teachers keeping in mind the initiative. To discourage the use of plastic, all school stationary are provided in cloth bags instead of plastic ones. Teachers are encouraged to use jute or cloth bags to carry books.

Eco policing is a programme initiated by the school to involve the school students to fulfill the following objectives:
