Event Start Date : 10/07/2016 Event End Date 10/07/2016
Our environment is our life support system and plant life is the most critical element of the system. Believing in the power of proactive collective action, DAV Hazaribag has made the generation aware of the enormity of the problem of environmental pollution and affirmative action to stem the tide of pollution or virtually an article of faith for ourselves. Their chief means of doing this is their plantation campaign “GREEN HAZARIBAG AND CLEAN HAZARIBAG” is the motto of their campaign and holding VAN MAHOTSAVA is a very important part of this campaign. It includes among other things distribution of saplings .Keeping the holistic approach in view, the school holds the Van Mahotsava to spearhead the campaign to restore the environment to its pristine purity. The event turns out to be a draw with people from all walks of life : the students, NCC Cadets, teachers, academicians, administrators, prominent citizens and other stake holders. The school has been taking this massive exercise of creating awareness through the celebration of Van Mahotsava and so popular has this endeavour of DAV Hazaribag become that it has established quite an awesome record of distributing an average of five to six thousand saplings every year, over the past eight years.
