Gurgaon, 14 July, (Naveen Gupta): 136 students and four teachers of CCA School, Gurgaon embarked on a green mission. All equipped, these green soldiers, not with boots and batons, but with spade and saplings won their cause well.
On the occasion of Vanamohatsav, this little team planted more than 20 saplings of Papaya, Hibiscus, Neem, Lemon, Drumsticks, Ficus and Frangipani. This is an annual feature in the CCA calendar. Every year children go to the school’s lush green sports complex in Sadhrana and plant trees. The children checked the plants they had planted last year as well.
The teachers briefed the children on the importance of going green and planting trees to combat the ill effects of rising pollution and concretization of our planet. Afforestation is the only panacea for the rising level of pollution. And at CCA School, we truly believe that the need of the hour is to sensitize the children, our future generations on the importance of going green in thought and action.
