School children are now integral to the ongoing monsoon tree-planting campaign spearheaded by the city administration. This initiative involves both government and private schools, with Deputy Commissioners actively seeking their cooperation to bolster the effort. Tree-planting activities have commenced in various schools and local communities, aided by the involvement of students.
The campaign includes an awareness drive about the importance of trees and climate change. Schools have organized educational sessions to inform students about the environmental benefits of trees.
Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi has urged students, teachers, and parents to support the city’s efforts in combating climate change by participating in local tree-planting activities. He believes that engaging children in this campaign will foster a sense of environmental responsibility, raise awareness about tree conservation, and encourage broader community involvement. The tree-planting campaign is progressing well, with a recent report indicating that 48,000 trees have been planted within the first eight days. To ensure effective implementation, a monitoring cell has been established at the Commissioner’s Office, featuring a Power BI dashboard that allows citizens to track the performance of administrative officers and the overall progress of the campaign.
