Involving school students in plantation initiatives yields numerous benefits, nurturing environmental awareness and responsibility from a young age. It cultivates a profound connection with nature and imparts a firsthand understanding of trees' ecological significance and climate change mitigation. Community participation, exemplified in villages like Garshika and Keshardha in Purulia, is pivotal. It fosters social cohesion, facilitates early issue identification, and ensures the initiative's long-term sustainability through collective nurturing efforts, amplifying its environmental impact and fostering community resilience.
