11th August 2024 , Rajiv Gandhi International stadium (Raipur) Dehradun
Around 126 Cambrianites, members of the CH Alumni community from across the globe and its ex-teachers in Dehradun, have planted over 550 saplings in the midst of the monsoon season as part of their pledge towards Green Dehradun.
Unfortunately, in the race of progress and growth our beautiful city is losing it’s old charm and fast moving towards becoming a concrete jungle. Hence this plantation drive is a small step towards greening of Dehradun”
At the outset the CHAA set itself a humble target by pledging 250 trees from our community, however, to our delight, the Cambrianites community across the world came together with great enthusiasm and we more than doubled our pledge with 550 trees, that too in a record 72 hours of a digital campaign.
This campaign, in collaboration with the Uttarakhand Forest Department, is not just a planting exercise, but the CHAA is committed to nurturing and caring for the saplings for the next three years to ensure their survival and optimum growth.
The participants gathered at Rajiv Gandhi International stadium (Raipur) to plant various trees, namely, Amla (Indian gooseberry), Amaltas, GulMohor & Mango in collaboration with the Raipur Forest Range Office.
