The Government Degree College for Women at Madanapalle in Annamayya district on Saturday launched an initiative to enhance greenery in the Madanapalle revenue division.
The National Service Scheme(NSS) wing of the college, with about 500 students, has come forward to champion the mission with a target to make each student plant two saplings in a year and take the responsibility for its growth into a tree.
NSS Coordinator, J. Amruthavalli, a lecturer in English, distributed one hundred plants to the girl students who hail from several places in Madanapalle division, covering a 40-km radius. The saplings included those of flower-bearing, fruit-bearing, and timber varieties.
