He emphasized the crucial role of trees in sustaining life on Earth and urged everyone to take active participation in tree plantation activities. Dr. Gupta also appreciated the efforts of the NSS units in organizing such an impactful event.
Dr. R.K. Bhat, in his speech, talked about the urgent need to combat deforestation and the role of educational institutions in promoting environmental sustainability. He encouraged the students to become ambassadors of green initiatives and to involve their families and communities in tree plantation drives.
The event was graced by esteemed Professors including Dr. Narinder Kumar, Prof. Lekh Raj, Dr. M.S. Saini, and Dr. Sunil Dutt. Each of them shared insights on the importance of conserving nature and applauded the college's initiative in celebrating Van Mahotsav.
Dr. Rahul Kait and Dr. Neha Sharma, the program officers, played a pivotal role in orchestrating the event. Their dedication and hard work were acknowledged by the Principal, Dr. Romesh Kumar Gupta, who lauded their efforts in making the plantation drive a success. He also praised the NSS volunteers and staff for their enthusiasm and active participation.
