The importance of trees in purifying the air, as natural resources, maintaining the ecological balance, preventing soil erosion, as medicines, habitats for faunal species, providing nutrients to the soil etc. is well known. On 8th August 2011, PCACS, N.S.S. unit conducted a tree plantation programme at “New Kalamboli Education Society Primary School, at Kalamboli” with a view of conserving trees and creating awareness among the school kids. About 80 plants of different varieties were planted at the school premises. Some common examples of plants planted were roses, palm tree, ashoka, tulsi etc. The tree plantation drive was a huge success with a participation of 25 N.S.S. volunteers.
