250 Plants Planted in Plantation Drive at Nauni

As part of its annual plantation initiative, the College of Horticulture at Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni organized a successful plantation drive on campus. This year’s focus was on enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the university, with over 250 ornamental shrubs and trees planted in front of the College of Horticulture.

Dr. Sanjeev Chauhan, Director of Research was the Chief Guest while all statutory officers of the university joined as the Guests of Honour. Faculty members from the college actively participated in the drive, which also included planting activities near the Sports Complex. The drive featured the planting of various trees and ornamental shrubs, including Putranjiva Roxburghii, Pencil Pine, Golden Juniper and Sapium Sebiferum.

In addition to this drive, the university undertook a month-long Van Mahotsav campaign this year, during which individual departments, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and Regional Horticulture Training and Research Stations conducted plantation drives focused on native forest species, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs.
