Through hands-on sessions, students are learning to prepare natural colours using edible and leafy vegetables. Green is derived from fresh leafy greens, red from beetroot, yellow from turmeric (haldi), and orange from Gogupuvvu (Palash). These colours are completely free from chemicals and harmful substances, ensuring celebrations that are safe for both people and the environment.

The campaign is gaining strong momentum across Eco-Clubs, engaging students in practical learning and encouraging them to adopt sustainable festive practices. By replacing synthetic colours with biodegradable alternatives, young learners are becoming ambassadors of environmentally responsible celebrations within their communities.

This initiative highlights how simple, nature-based solutions can make festivals vibrant, joyful, and eco-friendly.

Celebrate Holi with the colours of nature, safe, sustainable, and full of life.
