The school promoted parental involvement in students’ learning by inviting mothers to participate in the plantation drive. This enabled to strengthen bond between students and their mothers and surrounding ecology. Each sapling planted collaboratively was accompanied by a placard displaying the name of the students and their mother.

The students learned about the benefits of tree plantation and how to nurture for the saplings. This helped in building a sense of ownership among the students. The drive was a huge success empowering student with substantial knowledge of environment and plants. It also encouraged them to actively participate in such events and take steps towards a greener future. The school's Eco Club plans to organize more such events in the future, with the aim of creating a sustainable and ecofriendly environment.
