World Environment Day - Tree Planting Program




The first Saturday of our academic year 2012-2013 was a very memorable one. The experience was stupendous and unique. We all mourned when we were told to come on a weekend. We were briefed about the two species we would be planting- 25 Neem and 25 Honge saplings. We started our work in about 15 minutes after the briefing. We were helped by a gardener and Madhu sir. The pits were dug and all we had to do was to take out the plastic bag off the plant, put the plant in the pit, fill up the same with loose soil and water it. The plants stretched out up to 400 meters in length from our swimming pool to the Nice road.  Though it was tiring, we had loads of fun. For the fun filled experience missing our first Saturday of the year was worth it. Thanks Madhu sir for the spectacular experience. We look forward to working with you next year as well.

  2. Thanks Sharmila. The school has given strict instruction to its staff to nurture the plants. Also the pits are deep enough to contain moisture for at least 48 hrs. Today,I was delighted to hear from our landscape supervisor that there are very good chances for all 50 saplings to survive. Probably, in a day or two, support sticks will be put in place.
