ICSK Khaitan begins new year with tree plantation

Proclaiming this, there cannot be a better way to begin the new academic year of a School than starting it with planting trees. To instill the concept of ‘The Green School’, a tree Plantation programme was held in The Indian Community School Kuwait — Khaitan on the first day of the academic year 2017-18.
The students of Class VIII along with the Principal, senior teachers and distinguished guests, enthusiastically participated in the programme.

The representatives from these organizations, Gurdeep and team from Green Welfare Force Kuwait, Mohemmed Raouf from Gulf Palms, Ilyas from IMA Youth Wing and Krishan from Beas Cultural Society were present on this occasion to participate and help this drive make successful.
The Principal K.G. Shirsath briefed the concept of the Green School and related future plans in his address and thanked the courteous associations for their contributions. Various types of plants were planted like date palm, berry, olive, lemon and a variety of flowering trees.
