Handing over the Sash and Badge

As I wrote before to tell that I was made the head boy of my school i.e. Sacred Heart Convent School Ludhiana. Now my 1 year tenure has come to an end and I have given my responsibilities to the next Leader. On 22 January I formally gave over my duties. We had a Valedictory and farewell  ceremony. In this ceremony I the Leader ( head boy ) gave the sash to the new leader. The new leader took the oath and there was a function organized for our and the outgoing class's farewell. I had a great year and was sad that I had to give away my duties. But it is rightly said that every good thing comes to an end. This was what happened. But still I am happy that now I will be starting something new by going to a new grade which I suppose will bring new opportunities and better things to make good memories.

Clean Sidhwan Campaign

"Clean Water Bodies" Campaign was launched today by NGOs of Ludhiana to create awareness in citizens of Ludhiana towards pollution caused by Immersing of Lord Ganesha's Idols on Ganesh Chaturthi festival which is on Spetember 17. I was part of this campaign to educate people not use idols made of POP and synthetic paints. I contributed towards spread of awareness to STOP WATER POLLUTION in light of forthcoming festival season. God never wants us to pollute his natural resources with man made chemicals. So Let's all protect our surroundings.

Tree Plantation Drive

Sambhav an NGO started the tree plantation drive to plant 1 crore trees in one hour. with an appeal for each one to plant 5 trees. It is researched that it requires around 17 trees to neutralize one cars pollutants in a year. I contributed to the noble cause by planting 6 trees and 2 shrubs in my neighborhood. Out of which I planted 2 trees of winter flowering Croatia, and one each  of  golcheen   (as called in native language ), Amaltas, Gulmohar and silver oak. Two shrubs - queen of night and Arabian Jasmine. I also pledge to look after the trees I have planted till they are independently sustainable in nature. This is my own humble way to connect to Mother Earth.
