A tree plantation drive was organised by Boys’ Hostel no. 3
which was graced by Sh. RS Verma, IAS, Managing Director, Haryana Tourism and
Registrar, Cooperative Department Haryana. Sh. Verma appreciated the efforts of
the University for planting trees on such a mass scale as plantation drive is
being currently conducted by different hostels, departments and NSS units of
Panjab University. Tree plantation during the monsoon season will surely lead
to increase in green cover of the area to provide clean and safe air for
inhalation. Such drives are urgently needed during the current challenging
times of COVID-19 when news are coming that new delta variant of virus spreads
fastly in foul air, Sh. Verma stressed. He sensitized the hostel residents and
staff to plant more and more trees to be safe from adverse effects of climate
change. He narrated a number of lifetime experiences in his bureaucratic life
when trees planted roadsides saved many lives. Prof. Ashok Kumar, Associate Dean
Student Welfare stressed for the utmost care of newly planted saplings
till they are sufficiently strong enough in the soil to survive for growing
into trees. Saplings of trees like Peepal, Bargad, Sheesham,
Neem, Bel Pathar, Kathaletc.,were planted in the hostel premises. Dr. JS
Sehrawat, Warden, Boys’ Hostel No. 3, Dr. Ravneet Kaur, Warden (GH-3), Rajeev,
Warden (BH-1), Dr. Tilak Raj, Warden (BH-2) and Dr. Makhan Singh, Warden (BH-5)
were present on the occasion.
