Amritsar, August 6 (Punjab Post Bureau) – Tree Plantation Drive was held at Khalsa College of Engineering and Technology, Amritsar in which faculty members under the headship of Director of the college, Dr. Manju Bala planted saplings to make the campus eco-friendly and greener. Dr. Bala said the balance needed for Earth’s bio-diverse ecosystem has been eroded and we should plant more and more trees to maintain the stability in environment.

            “It is time we pay heed to our surroundings and work to build a better planet and it is very important for each individual to plant at least one tree in his lifetime”, said she adding that it’s no wonder that trees represent life, growth, beauty and peace. Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive.
