The tree plantation drive was conducted with an aim to promote ‘Go Green Initiative’ and spread awareness about climate change and global warming. The villagers, youths and troops present were also educated about the importance of trees in maintaining the ecological equilibrium, controlling rainfalls, and checking carbon emissions.
