Ryan International Academy holds textile recycling drive in Pune

May 8, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

Ryan International Academy Wagholi organised a used uniform and textile collection drive in collaboration with ReCircle to promote recycling and reduce textile waste.

The initiative invited students and parents to donate used school uniforms, clothes, bedsheets and other household textiles. The programme aligns with philanthropy, one of the principles outlined by Augustine Pinto under the institution’s 12 Point Vision.

Collected uniforms will undergo debranding to remove school identifiers before being processed at ReCircle’s textile recovery facility. Items will be sorted for reuse, recycling or repurposing to minimise environmental impact.

The school reported strong participation from parents, with contributions meeting guidelines on cleanliness and usability. The drive aims to divert textile waste from landfills and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The institution said such initiatives highlight the role of schools in promoting environmental awareness and responsible practices.

“P C Mahalanobis founded ISI on the belief that rigorous statistical thinking could help govern India better. Once genuinely world-class, the institute today risks being sidelined in the AI era—not for lack of talent, but because decades of governance structures have made change difficult. While dedicated researchers, alumni and students remain its strength, a system that has ‘quietly calcified’ has constrained growth. The Draft ISI Bill 2026 seeks to address this by modernising governance, empowering regional centres, and enabling ISI to reclaim its place at the forefront of statistics, AI and data science.”

"Seriousness should not be confused with panic. The examination system must be protected wherever trust can be breached, and any immediate action should be judged by its proportionality and purpose. The NTA has recognised the issue as a systemic challenge requiring institutional reform, stronger accountability, and technology-backed safeguards. Public confidence is rebuilt not by declaring institutions irreparable, but by identifying breaches, prosecuting wrongdoers, and strengthening systems. Given the scale of India’s examinations, no single safeguard is enough—the defence must be layered. Students need reliable information because rumours create anxiety, and criticism must distinguish between failure and response. Strengthening leadership, cybersecurity, operational procedures, and accountability is how a mature system responds to a crisis. India’s examination system does not need fatalism; it needs layered protection, accountable institutions, and transparent communication."
