TREE PLANTATION

Maharaja Aggarsain Adarsh Public School, Du-block, Pitampura, recently organised a tree plantation programme. The students of Classes 3 to 9 participated in that event. Children had brought saplings from their homes and a concern for the environment was visible on their faces. They were enthusiastic and enjoyed the plantation process. Principal Harsh Arya and chairman Jai Narain Gupta also planted saplings. Arya encouraged the students with some motivating words. Appreciating the efforts of the staff and students, she said, “Trees are essential for life and without trees we cannot exist on this beautiful planet. Owing to the unprecedented cutting of trees, ecological balance has been disturbed. We should take pledge to plant at least four saplings a year.” The chairman blessed the students and said protection of the environment is the need of the hour and such activities will bring everyone close to nature.
