The gathered dignitaries planted the saplings at the plantation arena on the borderline of water reservoir in Sukhrali villgae and vowed for nurturing and taking extra care of the trees around. The fundamental motto of the entire initiative is to ‘Spread awareness, save sparrows and protect environment’
This extensive effort of plantation is to instill a desire in the hearts of public to save the mother earth and strengthen the ecosystem in order to avoid the extinction of sparrows.
