Plantation programme at DPS
With an objective to create a sense of importance of trees among all the students of the school, DPS Principal Ram Singh initiated a plantation programme on the school premises. The prime objective of this workshop was to make students aware about the importance of trees. Trees play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the atmosphere. If trees are being cut at regular intervals, then it leads to deforestation which creates ecological imbalance.
