2022.
The following activities have been undertaken so far to promote this campaign:
• All students were informed about the “Tree plantation drive” through WhatsApp messages to motivate them
to plant saplings of trees.
• A “Tree Plantation Drive” was organized on 5th June 2022 under by Dr. Mamta Baunthiyal (Head of
department, Biotechnology), Dr. Suresh Chandra Phulara (Assistant Professor), Mr. Amit Khandelwal
