The Directorate of Education (DoE) in New Delhi has launched a mandatory geo-tagging initiative as part of a large-scale plantation drive aimed at enhancing greenery in schools. Each school, whether government, aided, or private, is required to plant a minimum of 50 saplings, which includes 15 trees and 35 shrubs, coinciding with the inauguration of the campaign. The overall goal is to plant 35,000 saplings across schools by the end of the 2026-27 academic session. Schools must submit geo-tagged photographs of their plantation sites through online Google forms before and after the planting process. The DoE has set specific timelines for site selection and soil preparation, with pit digging scheduled from May 15 to May 25. Additionally, schools are expected to achieve 80% of their planting target by September 15, 2023. A special tree plantation drive is planned from August 1 to August 11 to further support these efforts. Free saplings will be provided by the forest department's nurseries, and active participation from school heads, eco-club teachers, and students is encouraged for the maintenance of the planted saplings.
