According to the vice-president of SDKS, Captain SS Mann, 25 children from the society participated in the event. “Children formed groups of two and planted 15 Ficus panda saplings in the central park of the society," he said. "All the saplings will be nurtured by the society gardeners. But the children were so inspired that they promised to care for the plants in their spare time.”
