The SLAM Mats Program
In January 2025, we donated 1500 recycled rubber mats to provide a comfortable surface for studying and exercise, as children at the school previously studied on the cold floor.
Discarded XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene), a non-toxic, durable, insulating material, was recycled to create these mats. Additionally, wishing to empower local communities, we involved women in the village to stitch the mats through an upskilling program at a vocational institute, helping them hone their stitching and craft skills. Mats were donated to widows in the village for use at home as well.
The SLAM Arts Program
In February 2025, I painted the classroom walls at Rajkiya Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Neemrana — depicting colourful, educational images including shapes, the alphabet in English, and a solar system, introducing students to creative ways of combining art with education.
We also aim to recruit an art teacher and conduct art lessons for students in the newly set up multipurpose educational and play area.
The SLAM Sustainable Space
In July 2024, we partnered with the CSR department of ALP Overseas, a leading manufacturer of EPDM products, observing their projects involving recycling waste tyre rubber to create manufactured goods. Upon visiting the company's factory in Neemrana, Rajasthan, I helped design and observe manufacturing of recycled rubber mats and material to set up a playground and multipurpose educational area at Rajkiya Madhyamik Vidyalaya in Neemrana. We are currently working on setting up a functional, sustainable, weather-resistant area using this recycled rubber to aid with students' development and offer a space for recreation and learning.
