ODM Educational Group Celebrates Earth Day with Unified Commitment to Our Planet

Bhubaneswar | April 26, 2025 — Reflecting a shared spirit of environmental stewardship, ODM Educational Group, one of India’s most respected educational organisations, celebrated Earth Day across all its campuses with remarkable zeal and purpose. Anchored by this year’s global theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” students across all ODM schools actively participated in initiatives designed to promote environmental awareness and sustainable living.

 

From ODM Public School and ODM Global School in Bhubaneswar to ODM International Schools in Angul, Gurugram, Durgapur, and ODM Sapphire Global School in Ranchi, the day commenced with special assemblies, where educators and students highlighted urgent challenges facing our planet, including climate change, pollution, and deforestation, and the collective responsibility of every individual to protect and preserve Earth.

 

A wave of eco-consciousness swept through all grade levels, as students from Pre-Primary to Grade VIII engaged in activities designed to instil environmental awareness. The day featured seed-plantation drives, eco-themed art and craft sessions, community clean-ups, engaging quizzes, and powerful performances, such as street plays and skits like “Earth’s Cry”, each reinforcing the urgency of ecological preservation.

 

Dr. Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, shared his thoughts on the occasion: “Witnessing the passion and proactive engagement of our students in honour of our planet fills me with immense pride. Their understanding of environmental responsibility and their commitment to action are crucial steps towards building a sustainable future. Earth Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder of our duty to leave this world better than we found it.

And our students are already showing the way.”

 

Adding to this, Mr. Swoyan Satyendu, CEO of ODM Educational Group, echoed this sentiment, saying, “World Earth Day is a vital reminder of our interconnectedness with nature. The diverse activities undertaken across our campuses demonstrate our collective commitment to promoting environmental awareness and empowering our students to become conscious and responsible stewards of the Earth.”

 

Reflecting the spirit of the day, Ananya Mishra, a student of Grade VII, shared, “We’re not just cleaning or planting for Earth Day. We’re doing this because it’s our responsibility every day.”

 

With over 7,000 students participating across all campuses, the Earth Day celebrations at the schools of ODM Educational Group serve as a powerful reaffirmation of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to environmental education and encouraging a generation deeply invested in the well-being of our planet.
