The representatives from these organizations, Mr. Gurdeep and team from Green Welfare Force Kuwait, Mr. Mohemmed Raouf from Gulf Palms, Mr. Ilyas from IMA Youth Wing and Mr. Krishan from Beas Cultural Society were present on this occasion to participate and help this drive make successful.

The Principal Mr. K. G. Shirsath briefed the concept of the Green School and related future plans in his address and thanked the courteous associations for their contributions. Various types of plants were planted like date palm, berry, olive, lemon and a variety of flowering trees.
