School-Led Plantation in Ropar District

Simultaneously, DEEKSHA will carry out a vibrant plantation campaign along with a selected school in a rural area of Ropar District, with enthusiastic participation from students, teachers, and volunteers. There is something magical about a child planting a sapling – it’s hope made visible. By involving young minds in this hands-on initiative, we plan to sow seeds of environmental consciousness that will last a lifetime.

Educators will guide students through the process, explaining the importance of tree cover, ecological balance, and local flora. Together, we will transform their schoolyard and the selected rural area into lush, green, and buzzing habitats replete with life.

These two efforts – one deeply rooted in community, the other growing through youthful energy – represent DEEKSHA’s holistic approach to environmental care.

We invite all well-wishers, changemakers, and nature lovers to be part of this journey. Whether you join us in the field, follow our progress online, or support silently in your own way – every bit matter’s.
