disasters, prevent soil erosion, improve physiological, mental and spiritual health, and also reduce carbon footprints.
Keeping this in mind the Tree plantation drive was initiated by the “Genesis society of biotechnology” on 5th June
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
(Assistant Professor), Mr. Pranshu Dangwal (Assistant Professor), Dr. Vibha Shukla supported the tree
sapling plantation drive and motivated the students to take care of the saplings so that they grow into healthy
trees.
• Free saplings were requested from the Uttarakhand Forest Department, Pauri (Pauri Garhwal). Saplings were
planted in the open ground near the Biotech department and Near admin office within the premises of the
college.
• The students were motivated and advised to take care of the saplings planted by them.
We hope that such activities shall sensitize and encourage the students to “Love the trees until their leaves fall Off,
then encourage them to try again next year”.
