Plantation drive by Dalapchand School students

RONGLI, 28 May: A plantation drive of fruits and vegetables saplings in the reserve forest of Baklakha was organized by the Scouts & Guides Unit and Generous Students of Dalapchand SS on 25 May. The plantation was conducted in the presence of Scout Master, School teachers, S.M.C, Panchayat (GPU, Dalapchand), members of local NGOs and guardians.
As per a press release, the idea sprung from the need to address the issue of man-animal conflict in the area. The main objective was to provide sufficient food for animals in the forest so that they do not invade human habitation.
Around 70 students including Scouts & Guides Unit and Generous Students of Dalapchand SS from classes VI to X participated in the plantation. The program started at 10 am with brief address by SD Bhutia, GT (Bio) and Scout Master of Dalapchand SS about the day’s program. Panchayat Secretary (GPU, Dalapchand), Mani Kr.Rai also addressed the gathering.
Locally found vegetable and fruit saplings were planted in the forest. The students also interacted with SSB In-charge who appreciated the school's initiative towards such a noble cause. He also assured all possible support from their side in the days to come. [from SHITAL PRADHAN]
