From GTU more than 100 units participated in this online tree plantation program and planted many tress in their campuses.

Moreover, NSS volunteers have been encouraged to carry out such activities in their vicinity in view of the guidelines issued by the Government along with the permission from their respective parent/guardian. We were planting different types of plants during this occasion. We were planting different type’s plants like shelter plants, beauty plants, and herbal plants and so on. First we cleaned surrounding area of our college. Some made digs, some did plantation and some watered to plants. We felt very happy, proudly; satisfy because we gave contribution to save our suspicious environment. Because such festival of trees is a beautiful initiative to save the environment, to which we owe a lot. At last we gave water to plants and finished our celebration.

Major Outcomes of Event

· This was much polluted now days. Such types of event educates the awareness of trees among people and portrays the need of planting and tending of trees, as trees are one of the best ways to prevent global warming and reduce pollution.

· We gave message to everyone please done plantation and save our environment. It helps spread awareness amongst people about the harm caused by the cutting down of trees.

· Generally, native trees are planted as they readily adapted to the local conditions, integrate into eco-systems and have a high survival rate. Besides, such trees are helpful in supporting local birds, insects and animals as well.

· Planting of trees also serves other purposes like providing alternative fuel options, food for cattle, helps in soil conservation and more than anything offers a natural aesthetic beauty.

· Also, can planting trees be extremely effective in slowing down global warming and trees also help in reducing pollution as they make the air cleaner.

Glimpse of webinar.

These are the Gandhi’s most inspiring thoughts which was highlighted in webinar.

- Be the change that you want to see in the world.

- A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.

- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

- Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

- The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.

- Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

- Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.

- Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.

- Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

- Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
