For this, he got the children to make a percolation system in the school and explained in detail how water is conserved in it. Giving information on tree plantation as well, Dr Sunil said that today we see that we are paying attention only to beauty and due to this, many foreign species or in correct words invasive species are being planted, due to which our native species are being harmed. He gave information to the students about many such species and told them the way to identify them by using technology correctly. He also informed the children about how a tree should be planted and how deep its pit should be.
