Just so you don’t think I’ve spent all my time in the slums ….
This is Daly College, a residential school for well-to-do kids. We visited this campus because it is a model of optimal water management. It is an oasis of green. Just beautiful.
Grey water is reused, there is a water treatment plant on campus, they practice rainwater harvesting and bore well recharging; and property within 100 yards of the campus experience high water levels in their wells due to the recharging at Daly.
And, there is not a speck of trash on the campus. The students were realy nice. We conducted an interactive exercise and a survey on water scarcity awareness.

At the Shishukunj International School, we met with the students in the Green Club. We are happy to report that they were an environmentlly savvy bunch.
Classes are held on Saturday in India. That is, for the kids that go to school. On our several visits to the slums kids never seemed to be in school even on week days.
This is a modern campus in a new area of Indore near the city limits where new housing communities for a growing middle class are on the rise here, along with a big box store and a giant mall, of course.
Distinct differences from slum to campus. Thanks for sharing your observations and experiences.
