Nature is God’s most beautiful creation. It felicitates the growth, development and nourishment of all its creatures. As CBSE has included Health and Physical Education as a main stream subject, K.R. Mangalam World School G.K II took the initiative of SEWA to enable the students to enhance their intellectual, social, personal and emotional growth. Under the SEWA initiative, a “TREE PLANTATION DRIVE” was organized in the school on Friday, 26 July 2019 for class XII students. The campaign’s main aim was to direct student’s mind in constructive activities with the positive outcome through the facilitation of contributing to the society.
The students brought various saplings including Ashoka, Neem, Belpatra, Saptparni, Kadamb and Kachnaar. The students participated in the drive enthusiastically and helped each other in planting the saplings. All the saplings were planted in the school ground by students. The students along with the teachers also took an oath to look after the planted saplings, plant more and more trees and encourage others to do the same. Some of the students also shared their experiences and shared their joy with others.
Such little steps taken together by the school and students will surely help in fostering strong mental and social health amongst today’s children so that they connect with their peers, their elders, their community and their environment.
