Cleanliness and greenery is a dream of all of us and we all keep talking about it, however reality is far from this. In rapid race of urbanisation, we have forgotten that it is our duty to give back to the nature twice as much as we take. The students were asked to send in a selfie with the place they have cleaned or turned green by their own efforts.
The Principal of the school, Brother Monachan also addressed the students and motivated each and every member to plant trees and follow methods to keep our surroundings neat and clean and preserve nature for the future generation. The students of classes 8 and 9 cleared up the campus HET Piplani and the Commissioner BMC Vijay Dutta, distributed saplings to all the students to connect the students with the mission to spread the message to work for bringing Bhopal to Number 1 position in cleanliness. The students took an oath to take care of their surroundings and environment by devising ways and means so that the mother earth who is carrying our burden feels proud of her sons and daughters.
