Chhardrabdani Public School in Tehri Garhwal celebrated the traditional Uttarakhand festival Harela with great enthusiasm and a deep commitment to environmental awareness. On this special day, every student and teacher participated in a mass tree plantation drive, both within the school campus and in the surrounding community areas.
Each child planted at least one tree or plant, spreading the message of environmental sustainability, climate action, and the urgent need to combat global warming. This initiative has become a long-standing tradition of the school, making it a beacon of green consciousness in the region.
“Harela is not just a festival here – it’s a way of life.”
Under the inspiring leadership of Principal Manoj Sharma, the school has cultivated a deep-rooted culture of environmental responsibility. Every student, from the day of admission until the day they graduate, is given the responsibility of nurturing a plant or tree. These plants become a symbolic part of their school journey — a "green family member" they grow up with and care for.
A Living Example of a Green Campus
Today, Chhardrabdani Public School stands as a role model for Green Campus Initiatives. The school grounds are rich with greenery, shaded learning areas, herbal gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, and eco-awareness programs. The annual Harela celebration adds new green members to the campus every year, reinforcing the value of living in harmony with nature.
Beyond the Campus – A Community Movement
This green initiative is not confined within the school gates. Over the years, local villagers and parents have also become active participants. The festival acts as a bridge between the school and the community, bringing people together for a common cause — a greener and healthier environment.
In Conclusion…
The celebration of Harela at Chhardrabdani Public School is more than a festival. It is an environmental movement, a living tradition, and a meaningful educational experience for every child. Through this effort, the school not only teaches students about the environment but empowers them to become stewards of the planet.
“Green Earth, Happy Future” – this is the promise that every child at Chhardrabdani Public School plants with every sapling. ๐ฑ๐๐ณ
