The teachers and staff members wholeheartedly supported the event, appreciating the students' efforts and encouraging them to nurture the plants and develop a strong bond with nature. This campaign strengthened the students' sensitivity towards the environment and instilled a deep sense of respect for motherhood and responsibility.

This campaign is not just about planting trees - it's a beautiful example of emotional connection and awareness." School Director Prem Lata Joshi added, "This initiative promotes greenery and nurtures emotional values. Environmental protection requires responsibility accompanied by emotional attachment. Today's students are tomorrow's responsible citizens."
