Thereafter, 10 chosen for school champions locked horns during pre-finals at Shree Swami Narayan Gurukul School, displaying their working model on the given concept. The top five were then shortlisted for the finals at Shree Swami Narayan Gurukul School, where they displayed a PPT presentation of their working models. The final School Champion was then declared the ‘Green Champion 2014’ for Hyderabad.
