Jamshedpur : On National Forest Martyrs Day, students at Loyola School in Jamshedpur plant fifty-five seedlings.

To honor those who gave their lives defending India's forests, Loyola School in Jamshedpur celebrated National Forest Martyrs Day on Thursday. About 55 seedlings were planted at the event, which took place at the Tarumitra Centre in Jesu Bhawan, Mango.

Under the supervision of educators and forest officials, Loyola students planted the seedlings that Shaba Alam Ansari, IFS, Divisional Forest Officer, had donated. Father Rector Michael T. Raj, Principal Father Vinod Fernandes, and representatives of the Forest Department planted the first seedling together. Pupils were urged to assume responsibility for the plants' upkeep.

At the Tarumitra Centre, the day started with yoga, meditation, embracing trees, and a biodiversity walk. After that, students presented in groups without the use of electronic devices. The purpose of the "bagless day" was to provide students with a chance to unwind and re-establish a connection with the natural world while relieving the pressure of impending tests.

Students saw a variety of insects, animals, and plants in their natural habitats while participating in the activities. Additionally, they worked as a team, which enabled them to get over their hesitancy in social situations. Standard 11 volunteers gained important leadership and time management skills while supervising Standard 8 students.

Teachers Sudha Rao and Pubalee Bera oversaw and planned the program.
