He observed that celebrating International Tiger Day with students served as a reminder that conservation extends beyond protecting a single species and encompasses safeguarding the entire ecosystem. He also urged students to spread the message of environmental protection within their families and communities.
Alongside the plantation drive, organisers conducted a quiz competition to broaden students’ knowledge beyond classroom learning. The competition focused on environmental conservation, the heritage, geography, culture and current affairs of Arunachal Pradesh.
A total of 21 students, divided into eight teams, participated in the quiz. The first position was jointly secured by Rou Yangfo, Hakan Payeng and Asha Nilling, while Tatung Omang and Nitu Karjee jointly won the second position.
