The enthusiasm of the students, on this occasion, was worth watching, They planted each sapling with utmost care after preparing the soil and then watered the little plants carefully, showing great eagerness to watch them grow. Mr Khanna said that the problem of pollution and environmental degradation is not limited to any one nation. It transcends the boundaries and calls for a concerted effort of all the nations. We must all be conscious of saving the earth from the gnarls of environmental pollution and check global warming and climate change. The future generation must inherit a green and clean earth. The present generation must receive education of the environment and take practical measures to prevent the problem from accelerating any further.
