In a bid to increase green cover on university and college campuses, the University Grants Commission(UGC) has launched 'One Student, One Tree' campaign asking every student to plant a sapling during his/her stay in an institution
Under the initiative, UGC has directed vice-chancellors of universities to provide free saplings for plantation to the students.
A student will be involved in nurturing a tree for the preservation of environment. NSS and other allied departments in university may be instructed to ensure that at least one tree is planted by every student during his/her stay at the institution, UGC Secretary Prof. Jaspal Sandhu said in his letter to VCs.
The plantation drive is also to be implemented in affiliated colleges.
