Vowing for a green and healthy environment to save Mother Earth a special assembly was organised at DPS Bokaro to observe the Earth Day. All the teachers and the students of the school pledge for a green and healthy environment to save their earth.
The theme of this year chosen by United Nation is ‘Trees on the Earth’, focuses on increased protection and plantation of trees to have a sustainable environment conducive for all, said Paramjeet Kaur, Additional Principal of the school.
“As a matter of fact, late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, also had a dream of having ‘Billion Trees for Billion People’ by 2016. Taking ahead his dream, our school took a small initiative to ignite his dreams in lives of the students and help them develop a close bond with Nature,” she added.
Stressing on the importance and the relevance of this day Kaur said, “Earth is our Mother and it is our duty and responsibility to take care of her in the same way as we do it for our own mother. We shall hand over our earth to our next generation in a sustainable environment with abundant resources and definitely not in a calamity with depleting resources,” she added.
