The Collector said that the importance of education couldn’t be over emphasised and urged the parents to get their children an admission in the school and students should continue with the mission of making their village an exemplary one. This year the village is targeting to plant around 10 lakh saplings of which 1.20 lakh have already been planted in 1,320 schools within just a week.
