Experimental Design (Public) The experiment will be conducted across 105 Gram Panchayats (GPs) in Shahuwadi region of Kohlapur district in the state of Maharashtra, India. The study excluded 9 GPs that were in remote areas and lacked accessibility or infrastructure. The 105 GPs were randomly assigned to Treatment and Control groups. The Treatment group consists of 118 schools from 52 GPs who will receive the 8-week 'Waste No More' curriculum. The Control group consists of 125 schools from 53 GPs who will not receive the curriculum. A baseline and end-line survey will be administered with 1570 students from all the schools. For the survey, 2 students from each standard (4th-7th) will be randomly chosen, on the basis of the random generation of a roll number via a computer software.
