World Environment Day

On 6 th June 2024, a plantation drive was organized in support with Glenmark Foundation at DDA’s Poorv Delhi Khel Parisar (PDKP), East Delhi.

This urban afforestation initiative through the participation of doctors and key stakeholders, sought to educate and inspire individuals to actively contribute to the preservation of green spaces and the ecosystem. Urban forests are indispensable components of sustainable urban development, offering a multitude of ecological, social, and economic benefits. Recognizing their importance and investing in their preservation and expansion are essential steps towards creating healthier, more resilient, and more vibrant cities for current and future generations. Around 1000 native saplings were planted during the drive by participants, including the doctors, youth, and other attendees. The process involved digging holes, planting saplings, covering them with organic fertilizer, and watering them, to ensure proper care and nourishment for the newly planted trees.
