We could not exist as we do if there were no trees. In today’s scenario greenery is required to balance the environment. In order to increase greenery and for a healthy environment UBA Team of Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur had organized a Tree Plantation program at Pahariya village on 3rd September 2017 under the aegis of UNNAT BHARAT ABHIYAAN – an initiative of Ministry of Human Resource and Development(MHRD) with aim to accelerate development and growth in villages through participatory and appropriate technologies. The camp was organized by UBA team headed by faculty coordinator Dr. Rajiv Kumar Dhore and Dr. Madhu Agarwal and student coordinator Laxmi Shankar with a team of 42 enthusiastic student volunteers. The camp started at 9.30am and 200 plants were carried to the village from MNIT by bus. Plants include Neem, Kaner, Tulsi, Jamun (plum), sisham, paras Peepal, Ashok tree etc. The plantation was done by whole UBA team with the help of villagers and after plantation water was fed to plants with the help of a water tank.
