and philanthropist of the area. With his expertise in plantation and financial support I managed to
initiate plantation process. We were two now. We encouraged more than 15 people to donate for
plantation in the school. The donors include local police station, banks, automobile dealers and
shopkeepers. We went to the Sardar Patel Agriculture University Nursery for 5-6 times to fetch
plants. We started plantation in July 2015. We ensured complete involvement of students in
