Statements from Key Figures

Commanding Officer Rajive Barduwaj said, “The aim of the plantation is to make the campus here greener and to reduce the impact caused by global warming on the planet. Our forces play a vital role in doing so; our campuses in Rajasthan and other dry areas are also surrounded by greenery because of such drives. We have seen that this time the temperature has gone very high and everyone has been requested to plant a tree. If everyone in the country plants a tree, then there will be 140 crore trees, which will help to contain the rising temperature.”

SBI Branch Manager Nishan Sinhi added, “Global warming has been a very big problem, and we can make such small efforts to contain it. The State Bank of India is the biggest bank in the country, and it has always served the country. Because of it, it has also become our moral responsibility towards the environment as well. Pan India, we are organizing such drives and we are planting trees wherever it is possible.”

Outcome

The plantation drive was a success, with numerous trees being planted in the area. The participants promised to continue their efforts to maintain a green and healthy environment.
