Objectives of the Practice
In the age of global warming and acute level of pollution it is important to raise a generation
of young minds who understand the problem of depletion of environment and the role of human
beings in it. It is the objective of GPGC, Noida to provide green campus to its students so that

The context

The Practice
Every year saplings are planted on the college campus in which the units of NSS and NCC play
an important role. Plantation is also done on National festivals with the help of the students. In the
session 2019-2020 more than 500 saplings were planted. Students are also given the responsibility
of taking care of the plants that they have planted. Department of Botany also conducts green audit
every year to record the growth of trees and catalogues the different types of trees on the campus.
Evidence of Success
The lush green campus of our college which is home to numerous kinds of birds and insects serves
as an oasis of oxygen and greenery in the heart of Noida. Students take initiative to plant saplings
and take care of them without any supervision from the teachers. Students understanding the
importance of greenery carry out awareness programs in the neighbourhood and motivate people
for plantation.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Though students show great interest in planting trees they do not take care of them later. Many
saplings are destroyed or trampled upon because of irresponsible behaviour of students. It was a
great challenge to raise an awareness in the students to take care of the plants so that they grow
stronger and therefore become independent with time. Due to the immensity of the plantation done
and the lack of financial resources it was not possible to enclose all plants within plant guards.
