This movement was initiated in the year 1950 by India's then Union Minister for Agriculture, Dr. K. M Munshi. Since then, the festival has gained immense national importance and every year, millions of saplings are planted all across India in observation of the Van Mahotsav week.
The Pre-Primary students at Shalom Hills School (Sushant Lok) celebrated the week in the school from 7th July-11th July’14 with great enthusiasm and keenness to do their bit for Mother Earth. With their tiny hands, the little ones planted life inside the soil as they planted seeds of different vegetables. This was not just one-act responsibility or lip service in name of tree plantation. Each class has taken its responsibility towards tree-plantation further on by adopting each seed/sapling. Every class is now taking care of each plantation by nurturing them with water and manure.
The children displayed the art & craft work created by them from recycled material and discarded items. A ‘Best from Waste’ corner was created in every class to display such art work.
As part of the festivities, one day, the students came dressed up in green coloured attires along with the staff members. All joined in the celebrations going on in the garden area.
