As part of the initiative, students planted 36 native tree species—including Indian Gooseberry, Mulberry, Indian Blackberry, Mango, and Wild Indian Almond—across 600 square meters on the northern side of the campus. The effort added to the university’s growing tree cover and strengthened its green footprint.
