This session underscored the campaign’s theme of cleanliness and the importance of green cover in urban environments.
The volunteers worked diligently, digging pits, planting saplings, and ensuring proper care was taken to secure the growth of each tree. Their dedication not only contributed to beautifying the campus but also aimed at fostering a sense of responsibility towards nature among students and the local community.
The drive concluded with a pledge taken by all participants to actively engage in environmental protection and cleanliness efforts. They committed to nurturing the planted saplings and continuing the efforts of the Swachhata Hi Seva Hai campaign beyond this initiative.
The plantation drive organized by NSS volunteers was a resounding success, embodying the spirit of community service and environmental stewardship. The collective efforts of the volunteers, under the guidance of Principal Simi Johal and faculty members, reinforced the importance of cleanliness and sustainability in our daily lives. This initiative not only aimed at enhancing the green cover but also inspired participants to become proactive advocates for a cleaner, greener future.
