Lucknow, 05 June (HS): On the occasion of World Environment

Day, a tree-planting program was organized at the new campus of the State

Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT). On this occasion,

Sharma, Director General of School Education, Monika Rani, Joint Director of

Education (Samagra Shiksha), Dr. Pawan Sachan, and Joint Director and Unit Incharge

of Girls' Education, Dr. Mukesh Singh, planted trees and gave the message of

environmental protection and green development.

Additional Chief Secretary, Basic and Secondary Education,

Partha Sarathi Sen Sharma, said that environmental protection has become a

global necessity today. Tree planting is the most effective way to keep the

Earth safe and balanced. If every citizen plants and protects at least one tree

every year, we can provide a clean, healthy, and green environment for future

generations. He said that the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign is an

inspiring effort to express respect for nature and motherhood, and everyone

should participate enthusiastically.

Director General of School Education, Monica Rani, said that

schools are not only centers of education, but also powerful vehicles for

social awareness and positive change. Developing a sense of environmental

protection among students is our priority. Through tree planting, children are

being encouraged to be sensitive to nature and understand their environmental

responsibilities. She said that World Environment Day provides us with an

opportunity to pledge to build a green and sustainable future.
