Current Projects
9. Project Root & Shoot:
This project aims at enhancing children’s fascination for the
things around them and encourage and guide them to explore the
environment by themselves so as to develop a curiosity and a
holistic understanding about nature in general and local
ecosystem in particular. The children are also being trained to
identify, collect, preserve & compile the plantation data in the
record books. Tree record books developed by NCSTC and PSCST have
been made available to the groups for information, reference
material & record keeping. The students will nurture saplings for
at least one year. This project was implemented in 30 schools of
District Sangrur in Punjab. Further, the project is now being
replicated in districts Ropar, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur and Muktsar.
