This year, CT Group will give new students a sapling along with their admission letter

Jalandhar: For the coming academic year and in an attempt to encourage students to be eco-friendly, CT Group of Institutions, Shahpur and Maqsudan is gifting a sapling to the students taking admission and encouraging them to plant it by promoting the green cause. This is a Group’s decision taken at the managerial level and has been communicated to all institutes including agriculture, engineering, humanities and pharmacy etc. The institutes will provide one sapling to each student and direct them to plant it either in the campus premises or around their residence. The notion has been accepted after countries like Philippines passed a new law that requires students to plant saplings during their academic year. Dr. Jasdeep Kaur Dhami, Campus Director, Maqsudan said, “The new students taking admissions are encouraged to plant many benefiting plants such as Azadirachta indica (Neem), Melia azedarach (Darek), Cascabela thevetia ( lucky nut) and others in our campus.” "The student will take care of the sapling and nurture it until he or she gets out of the college. In the end, the student will take a photograph with that plant and the Group will issue a certificate of appreciation to them. This process involves regular picture submission of a student with his plant. We are also implementing the same in CT Public School and CT World School where students will get grade marks by planting saplings during their academic year.” explained Manbir Singh, Managing Director, CT Group.
