This website is designed to provide educational materials to students, even if they are unable to attend school physically.

Additionally, the site offers downloadable content for visitors to access offline, guiding waste management practices.

It also provides information on environmental conservation practices for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with advice directed toward various stakeholders, including the central government, local government, cultural leaders, religious leaders and residents.
