Prakriti Sanrakshan Abhiyaan

The National Service Scheme (NSS) Unit of Loreto College, Kolkata organised a sapling planting drive under the aegis of “Prakriti Sanrakshan Abhiyaan” on July 9, 2024. A team of NSS volunteers planted around 35 saplings along Park Street and Allen Park with the help of the local Ward authorities. The Councillor for Ward no. 63, Smt. Susmita Bhattacharya, facilitated the drive and guided the team throughout.

The NSS team had appealed to the staff and students of Loreto College to donate saplings. A variety of plants such as neem, aloe vera, crotons, tagar, erica palms, jamun, kamini, and tulsi were collected through the donation drive. The maintenance of the plants shall be the joint responsibility of the NSS volunteers and the ward officials. The drive was a small step towards making our city and our surroundings greener.
