‍Jadav Payeng inaugurated Tree Plantation Drive at Axel Public School

Axel Public School in April 12th, 2024 took a bold step towards environmental conservation with a plantation drive inaugurated by Mr. Jadav Payeng, famously known as the ‘Forest Man of India.’ To plant 500 trees in and around the city, the initiative aimed to raise awareness about environmental conservation and emphasize the crucial role of trees in maintaining ecological balance.

The plantation drive was made possible through the generous contributions from the school’s food fest held in January, which collected a substantial sum of 85,000 rupees. Speaking at the event, Mr. Prasanta Choudhury, Director, of Axel Public School, highlighted the significance of a green and clean environment in ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Mr. Jadav Payeng, in his address, stressed the importance of biodiversity and underscored the responsibility of individuals in nurturing and caring for plants and trees. “Our duty doesn’t end after planting a sapling but also to take care of it,” he emphasized, inspiring the audience to become protectors of the environment.

The plantation drive commenced at the school premises, with saplings being planted by the Chief Guest Mr. Jadav Payeng, Mr. Prasanta Choudhury, DirectorAxel Public School, Mrs. Monti Gogoi Principal, Axel Public School, members of the Axel Society, students, and teachers. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from Axel’s Green Warriors, who actively contributed to the cause.

Continuing their commitment to environmental stewardship, members of Axel’s EcoClub, the Green Warriors, extended their efforts to MV School Lokhra. Here, they formed an Eco Club and led the plantation of 70 saplings, with each sapling planted by a student, instilling a sense of love for the environment and encouraging them to become guardians of nature. Parents of the students of Axel Public School also played an active role in the plantation drive, pledging to nurture the planted trees and ensure their growth and sustainability.

This holistic approach ensured that the entire community was engaged and committed to the long-term success of the initiative. The initiative not only aimed at enhancing the green cover of the city but also served as a platform to educate and empower the youth to actively participate in environmental conservation efforts. Axel Public School sets an exemplary model for schools across the region, demonstrating the power of collective action in building a greener and healthier future for all.
