Van Mahotsav Celebration
"Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish." - Munia Khan
As part of Salwan Junior School, Naraina's clean and green initiative, a tree plantation programme was organized on Thursday, 5th July, 2018.
The first sapling was planted by Hon'ble Chairman of our school, Mr. Michael Dias in the presence of Our school's Director, Mr. Rajesh Suri and our Principal, Ms. Anuradha Mathur. Our Eco - Warriors, along with the teachers and the school gardener, participated enthusiastically in the programme by planting saplings of flowering plants in the school garden.. It was an ideal opportunity to instill the value of social responsibility in the students by forming a personal connect between them and the trees.
The overall objective of this campaign was to sensitize the students to take care of their environment.The declining number of trees has brought a major change in our lives and in the climate as well. So there is a dire necessity of festivals such as Van Mahotsav, to restore our green cover. To mark this occasion, our students made posters with slogans stating the importance of trees. The significance of this activity was to strengthen the bond of love and care for trees.
The programme concluded with children taking a pledge to save their environment and a motto, " Plant a tree and add a new friend in your life."
