Sir encouraged the student to plant a sapling and nurture it till it grows into a beautiful tree, if each and every person takes care and does his tiny bit for our environment, the Earth will slowly and steadily heal to become a much better, cleaner and greener place to live. Also, whoever plants a tree is most welcome to take a photograph and share it with us.
