Grow Green Go Gre:TREE PLANTATION CAMPAIGN

Bangalore: The NCC Army wing of the Government First Grade College, K.R.Puram,Bangalore , along with the airforce NCC wing  joined hands to make the college campus green and clean. Green campus and clean campus was the motto and hence determined to plant 100 saplings in and around the college campus. This initiative to plant saplings was made possible by the support of the Mahadevapura BBMP Joint commissioner. “Each one plant one” was adopted not merely as a slogan but the NCC cadets have personalized it by adopting one plant each to water it and nurture it till it is fully grown to sustain itself.

With this social activity of tree plantation the cadets learnt that NCC is not all about parades,  and camps but can take up social responsibilities too. The college motivates the cadets to undertake various programs on social relevance such as blood donation, visit to old age homes, educational campaign, cycle rally etc. while most part of city is busy felling trees to construct gigantic cement structures, the GFGCites took to the road less travelled to contribute its mite to restore Bangalore’s old image of garden city.

Prof. Dhanamma, , principal of the college has been very supportive in this venture and encourages all the NCC activities .. It was a pleasant surprise to have joint director of the collegiate education Prof.Lalithamma  to have joined the campaign and plant few saplings along with the special officer P rof. SambojiRa.
