DPS Patiala Campus goes Greener !!

“The key to a greener planet is in our hands" - and so our little hands from kindergarten planted the saplings of the flowering plant - "Plumeria" on the 15th of July 2022. The main aim of this activity was to direct students’ minds to constructive activities with positive outcomes through the facilitation of contributing to society and to the ecosystem around. The students excitedly participated in the drive and helped each other plant the saplings. All the saplings were planted in the school ground by students under the guidance of the school gardener, who gave plant care tips to the students. They were told to wait for the plant to grow and bloom
