An environmental factor of particular importance to children physical activity levels appears to be the presence of parks and open space. Thus, in promoting children health, school grounds merit consideration as a potential setting for intervention. This explores how ‘green’ school grounds, which contain a greater diversity of landscaping and design features, affect the quantity and quality of physical activity among elementary school children. 

A day at Vidhaan is an entirely different experience altogether. The picturesque site and blossoming green environment makes the campus, free from pollution. The campus is spread over 6 acres of lush green land has more than 2,500 trees. The school is also easily reached by public transportation. We have a well ventilated school structure with safe and hygienic indoors and outdoors.  

green school grounds invite children to jump, climb, dig, lift, rake, build, role play and generally get moving in ways that nurture all aspects of their health and development. Of particular significance is the potential to encourage moderate and light levels of physical activity by increasing the range of enjoyable, non-competitive, open-ended forms of play at school. Seen in this light, green school grounds stand to be an important intervention to be included in school health promotion initiatives.
