TREE PLANTATION AND CLEANLINESS DRIVE
VENUE: GOVERNMENT SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL, AKODA

DATE: 31st October 2022

INTRODUCTION

The Pupil Teachers from the Department of Teacher Education, Central University of
Haryana along with the teachers and students of GSSS Akoda organized a cleaning and
plantation drive under the supervision of principal Sri. Ram Swaroop Yadav and the
internship coordinator Dr. Manju on the 31st of October, 2022. The program was conducted
in order to create awareness among the students and the community about the importance
of preserving the environment and engaging in environmentally sustainable activities. The
environment plays an integral role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem we live in.
Most people don’t understand the importance of the environment and end up damaging it
with their various activities. If we continue to degrade the environment, in the long run, the
adverse effects will affect human beings too. So, to protect the environment, one should
focus on sustainable development. In this way, the demands of human beings will be met
without overexploiting the natural resources of the environment.

Considering the manifold benefits of trees, including that they release oxygen into
the air, absorb unpleasant odors as well as harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and sulfur dioxide from the air and purify it, protect us from dangerous ultra-
violet rays, provide us with food and the pivotal role played by trees in preventing soil
erosion, maintaining ecological balance and most especially in lessening the effects of global
warming, our team was insistent in ensuring community participation. Tree plantation is not
just something that should be done; instead, it is a necessity, the urgent need of the hour.
Planting of trees is especially important to protect our environment against air pollution and
global warming.
OBJECTIVES:

 To understand the importance of preserving and nourishing the environment.

 To create a generation of active participants in the fight against climate change.
 To create a tranquil learning environment.
 To bring about an attitudinal change in the students and help them to develop
societal consciousness, sensibility, responsibility and accountability.
 To develop a holistic life perspective among the students by making them study
culture, traditions, habits, lifestyles, resource utilization, wastages and its
management, social problems, public administration system and the roles and
responsibilities of different persons across different social systems.
 In order to understand social service as a graduate attribute.
 To improve social responsibility and citizenship skills.

PLANNING

The planning for the plantation and cleaning drive began with getting permission
from the Internship supervisor and the principal of the school. A discussion was conducted
with the staff of the school in order to create a route map for the rally and to confirm the
dates. It was finally decided that the event would be conducted on the 31 st of October.
Students were instructed to learn slogans and make posters that would be used during the
rally. Each pupil teacher was assigned with a certain responsibility. Mr. Yashdeep, Mr.
Donny, Mr. Sambhit, Mr. Vibhakar and Miss. Himanshu were in charge of discipline and
traffic management during the rally. Miss. Nithya, Miss. Roshni, and Miss. Arpita were in
charge of the posters, while Miss. Shruti, Miss. Pragya, Miss. Pragyan and Miss. Rashmita
oversaw the sloganeering and refreshments.

EXECUTION

The principal Sri Ram Swaroop Yadav, addressing the assembly, shared his wisdom
about the importance of tree plantation, especially in a region like Akoda and quoted the
scriptures to enlighten the students how it is their duty to save the environment. This was
followed by a short speech by Dr. Manju, the teacher in charge for the internship program,
pointing out how such activities create a sense of social responsibility and creates sensitivity
among the students.

The program began with a short rally where students actively participated in creating
awareness about the importance of sustainable practices and protecting the environment.
They raised slogans like; “Don’t be greedy; rather, be greeny”, “ववववववव वव वव
ववववव ववववव, ववव ववववव वववव ववववव” and “ववववव वव वववव वववव
ववव, वववव ववव वववव वववववव”. The organisers of the rally, which included the
pupil teachers and the school faculty, made sure that we passed through Akoda town and
the surrounding neighborhood so as to magnify our motto and to make sure it reaches
maximum people.

This was followed by a cleanliness drive, where the students not only cleaned the
school, but also the surrounding areas and the street in front of the school. The school had
arranged tree saplings which were planted all around the campus as well as the street
outside. Students from higher classes actively participated and worked together with the
pupil teachers to dig the hole and in collecting water.

CONCLUSION

The involvement of the students as well as the involvement of the locals in the
community activity is a testament to the success of the program. Through this event we
were able to spread awareness about the need for protecting and replenishing our
environment. The speeches by the principal as well as Dr. Manju was extremely inspiring.
Through their motivation, and the hard work of the pupil teachers, the rally as well as the
cleaning drive was undertaken by the students with great enthusiasm. Students were
educated about the benefits of each particular sapling or tree they planted by the life
science teachers. Not only did the students participate in this activity to save our
environment, they were also enlightened about the need, benefits and absolute necessity of
tree plantation. Overall, the event was a great success, benefitting not just the students, but

Health and Hygiene Awareness program

Venue: Government Senior Secondary School, Akoda, Mahendergarh, Haryana

Time: 8 December 2022

About activity

On 8th December 2022, A community service activity was 6organized in collaboration

with Govt. Senior Secondary School, Akoda, in the time range of 11am to 1pm. The activity

was o6rganized by the Pupil – teachers of Central University of Haryana under the

supervision of Dr Chandvir ( Assistant Professor,CUH). The topic for the program was

“Health and Hygiene Awareness”. The activity was o6rganized in the school campus. All the

girls from 9 to 12 participated in the activity along with parents and their teacher.

Goal of the community service activity

The goal of “Health and Hygiene Awareness” program was to aware the students as

well as their parents about health and hygiene. Students do not maintain hygiene, which

can lead to health issues, therefore, it is quite necessary to aware the students about health

and hygiene. As hygiene is very necessary for keeping ourselves healthy, and a healthy mind

exist in healthy body.

Planning

It is true that the various diseases caused due to living in unhygienic condition but

sometimes lack of awareness about health and hygiene also leads to or became a major

reason for various health issues. In the Haryana state, there are many areas in which, even

in this modern era or technological era, girls and women are living whole life inside four

walls, and have no access to media, due to this they are left unaware of various things,

including health concerns or issues. Hence, it had been planned to organise such type of

awareness programme and invite the community people to participate in it. School students

are also being motivated by the pupil teacher to participate in the program with their

parents, so that they become aware about the health issues and hygiene.

Management and action plan for the community service activity

The Intern students of Central University of Haryana collectively have a meeting to

decide and plan how to organise such program. The topic “Health and Hygiene Awareness

Program” was chosen because it was the need of hour. We plan step by step and execute

under the guidance of Dr Chandvir. A list was prepared and how to execute the programme

was scripted on paper. First we ask to Dr Chandvir for organising such program, then

approach to school principal and teachers for organising that program. Furthermore, we did

announcement in the classroom about the program and encourage students to participate

in majority along with their parents and also suggests students to convey that information

to their parents, that our teachers are inviting you to come in school and join that program.

We also move to village for inviting some local community members. One doctor was

invited for the awareness programme from the Akoda village, Primary Health Care centre.

On the day of programme various posters were designed for the awareness, and pasted on
the walls, smart board of the digital classroom was used for playing or showing the video to

the participants. The program was started by the Vibhakar Anand ( B.Ed student). He

welcome one and all to join the awareness programme and introduce Doctor of Akoda

village, Primary Health Care centre, Dr Poonam and then proceed with a short note about

the programme. First of all, some concepts had been explained and after that health and

hygiene related video was played. After showing that video, doctor explains the concepts

and she also have some pamphlets for the students and community members to distribute.

The programme was end with a thanking note. A certificate was also given to Dr Poonam for

coming and proving knowledge and making all aware about the health and hygiene.
