Sapling donation drive – Towards Green Growth
Enviro Club at LIBA plays an important role in the conservation of the environment. The students of LIBA Enviro Club organized a seed sowing drive, planting seeds in sapling bags in March 2020. The seedlings grew, totaling 150 in number.
On August 9, 2021, these saplings were donated to Thuli – an NGO working with the poor and underprivileged – for plantation around the lakes in the Jaladianpet area. Mr. Ajith Kumar, Founder, Thuli received the saplings from Dr. C. Joe Arun. SJ – Director, Faculty and Staff of LIBA.
Most of the saplings were of fruit-bearing varieties such as jamuns, mangoes, custard apple, and almonds. This will result in the fixation of CO2 from the surrounding environment reducing carbon footprint, and in a motive to bring more fruit-bearing trees that would help in creating multiple food sources for all forms of lives including humans.
