Van Mahotsav Celebrated at St. Stephen’s - 45

St. Stephen's School, Chandigarh and St. Stephen's School, Togan celebrated "Van Mahotsav" on July 27, 2007 with great zeal and enthusiasm. The day began with a slogan writing competition and poster making competition. A special assembly was conducted. A trophy called "Carver Cup for Environment Studies" will be presented to the house which acquires the highest points for the protection of environment. This trophy had been shipped from United Kingdom by Mr Roger Carver and Ms Esme sometime back as they were highly impressed by the stress on protection of the environment by our schools.

A function was organised on this occasion and we were honoured to have Mr. Ishwar Singh, Deputy Conservator of Forests and Director of Environment amongst us as the chief guest. Many trees were planted to commemorate the occasion. This was followed by an entertainment programme to highlight the importance of protecting plants. The function culminated in the Stephenian family taking a pledge to save trees and plant more - all this under the able guidance of Mr. Harold Carver, the Principal of St. Stephen's School, Chandigarh.
