Jamshedpur, July 1: Students today used waste as a resource to showcase their creative best at an exhibition organised by the environment club of DBMS English School on the institute premises.
Waste material like old unused bottles, old clothes and coconut shells were turned into beautiful showpieces.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Lalitha Chandrashekhar, the president of DBMS English School, in the presence principal Rajani Shekhar.
Students used broken bangles and rope to create wind chimes, matchboxes, empty perfume bottles and broomsticks to make robots, penstands and pots. Ashwini Kumar, a Class II student, used CDs as wheels on his cart while Shalu Agarwal, a Class VIII student, made a nest with artificial birds and eggs.
