Tree Plantation Drive At Sunrise Public School
By Karan
7th October: On the occasion of Earth Day, the Environment-Club of our school organized a Plantation Drive on 21st August, 20×× to sensitise students on the value of tree plantation. The saplings were procured from the Ministry of Forest Welfare and students of the Gardening Club of classes 6 to 10 planted these saplings in the school compound during their hobby classes. The plants were placed in large clay pots and freshly dug earth mixed with manure was accommodated all around. The school gardeners looked on and offered friendly tips to ensure that each sapling was carefully tended. Students became acquainted with the common names of the saplings like Neem, Kachnaar, Tulsi, Jamun, Ashwagandha, etc. Some students carried saplings home for planting in their neighbourhoods. Speaking on the occasion the Principal, Mrs Mehra said, “We need to plant as many trees we can in order to keep the earth green” On the occasion of the Earth Day the drive taught the students the need to learn to live in harmony with Mother Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis. Besides delicious snacks, the students also received participation certificates.
