Sharma and DFO Sunil Manhas, along with their teams who were there to educate students
about the surroundings. Mr. Surinder Sharma appreciated the efforts of KCPS students for
keeping the surroundings clean and green. He also ensured all the support to the students in
carrying out their mission. On this occasion students planted many trees in addition to the ones planted by them during their previous visit, in order to add floral diversity to the region.

They reiterated their resolve to take care of the park by visiting it frequently.

They were also provided with refreshments during the visit. Students also carried out a
cleanliness drive, collected the litter found in the park and put it in the dustbins. They thanked
Corporator Sharma, DFO Manhas and their teachers for their valuable guidance and for making them aware of their responsibilities towards environment and its sustainability.
