We have solar panels installed at many CMS campuses to save electricity and rainwater harvesting systems have also been put up wherever possible. Every year, CMS students carry out marches to motivate the masses to celebrate cracker-free Diwali to lessen the air and noise pollution. The association with Blue Planet is another opportunity for CMS to make its students agents of profound social change."

        Blue Planet's mission is to incorporate sustainability learning opportunities in students' daily life and make them active participants in the environment protection.
