The annual tree planting festival ‘Van Mahotsav’ in the month of July was initiated by Dr. K.M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Agriculture & Food in 1950. This festival is a crusade to save Mother Earth and in actuality, a ‘festival of life’ because every tree planted is a hope of new life – healthy and happy!
The Divine Child High School staff and students celebrated this festival with enthusiasm. Every class, represented by the teacher and two students, planted a sapling. A poster and slogan competition on trees, was organized and the students passionately participated in the same. The school also had a sale of saplings in the campus.
It is the call of every human being to spread awareness about the value of trees and encourage tree plantation to beautify our environment, prevent global warming, reduce pollution and ‘save our lives!’
