The Story in Brief
Over 150 students, NCC cadets, Rotarians and forest officers planted 527 saplings at the Telangana State Forest Academy in Hyderabad's Dulapally area on Kargil Vijay Diwas. The drive, organised under Project Dhanyavaad by the Rotaract Club of Mahindra University, aimed to turn remembrance into action, thehansindia.com reports.
Priyanka Varghese of the Forest Academy spoke on 'green patriotism', and retired Army officers were felicitated. Rotary leaders Ramesh Patel and Shanthi Palreddy urged youth to serve the nation beyond words.
The Indian Opinion
Such plantation drives are welcome but often dismissed as tokenism unless the saplings survive. The real test will be the forest department's follow-up care and survival audits a year from now. Numbers planted mean little if they don't grow into trees. Will Hyderabad track these 527 saplings and report their health publicly?
