Overview

A progressive shift in hygiene practices has taken place at KLS Public School in Peeranwadi, Belagavi, Karnataka, marking it as the first school in India to eliminate the use of phenyl and synthetic disinfectants for cleaning toilets, washrooms, floors, gardening, and mosquito control. Under the forward-thinking leadership of the school’s young principal, KLS Public School has embraced an innovative, eco-friendly solution: Soulful Kalki, a natural disinfectant founded by Ajitkumar Parab from Vengurla, Maharashtra.

Testing and Adoption of Soulful Kalki

When the principal first learned about Kalki’s natural disinfectant properties, she tested it herself at home, observing its impact on mosquito control and overall hygiene. Impressed by the results, she introduced the product on the school campus. Since November 2023, KLS Public School has successfully transitioned to a 100% phenyl-free, synthetic disinfectant-free environment.

Cost Efficiency and Health Benefits

The adoption of Kalki has not only proven effective in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness but has also reduced the school’s expenses for this department by over 60%, showcasing the cost-saving potential of this innovation for educational institutions. Additionally, Kalki has positively impacted the health of ancillary staff, who no longer have to handle hazardous chemicals, creating a safer working environment.

Student and Staff Testimonials

Students have noticed a significant improvement in the overall health and hygiene of their school environment, noting a reduction in foul odors and unpleasant effects previously caused by synthetic disinfectants. This feedback from students underscores Kalki’s effectiveness and its gentle, non-toxic nature in shared spaces like washrooms.

Educational Session on Sustainability and Climate Action

Following this successful implementation, Mr. Ajitkumar Parab and the Kalki team held an engaging session with high school students to educate them on the importance of eco-friendly practices. The session inspired students to recognize the impact of their actions on the environment and encouraged them to contribute to reversing the effects of climate change.

A Call to Action for Educational Institutions

The success at KLS Public School serves as a call to action for schools across Karnataka, India, and the world to adopt this innovative, natural solution. Kalki, developed by Ar. Ajitkumar Parab, represents a sustainable, cost-effective approach to campus maintenance that benefits both people and the planet.
