Shillong, June 22: Sri Aurobindo Institute of Indian Culture, Mother’s School celebrated green week from June 2 to 8 jointly with CRPF 67 battalion.
During the one-week event, all the children were asked to bring saplings to plant.

During the event, the technique of ‘touch a plant’ was used by allowing each child to nurture a plant, walk outdoor to explore the campus and touch the leaves and to listen to the sound of nature.
The kids were allowed to plant saplings in old recycled containers.
Around 100 saplings were planted in the campus by the teaching and the non-teaching staff.
The plants were given by the parents of Mother’s School and Forest Department Shillong.
The event included the cleaning drive of school and the campus.
In addition, posters were created to high light the event.
