Inspired from the programme of Govt. of Sikkim, 'Sikkim Paryavaran Mahotsav', we decided to give some of our time to the nature too. We decided to do a mass plantation drive of 1 Hour under the banner of 'Sikkim Students Facebook Family' on 30th June 2013.
Coming out of our comfort zone was indeed a bigger challenge. Who wants to come out of the house when you can sit in the room and relish on hot aaludam & tea? But we were stunned by the enthusiasm of the students who didn't care the unending rain.
Our program began at 10 AM on the scheduled day when Mr. Ganesh Bhandari, a senior teacher, Upper Pakkigaon School planted a sapling and kickstarted our programme.

Our plantation began from Subba Gaon turning point to VK Golai, Apatan Road, Malbasey where we planted saplings of Rhododendrons and other flowering plants. The programme which was meant for 1 hour went on for more than 3 hours amidst mass enthusiasm and fun.
