On the occasion of World Nature Conservation Day, observed annually on July 28th, the EIACP Programme Centre (RP) at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad, hosted a meaningful Plantation Drive under the campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”. This unique event aimed to celebrate the profound bond between mother and child while contributing to environmental conservation.
During the event, 35 mother-child pairs participated by planting a sapling each, pledging to protect, nurture, and oversee its growth. This act symbolized their commitment to nurturing nature and fostering a sustainable future. The event was inaugurated by Prof. Dheeraj Kumar, Deputy Director, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, along with Mr. Prabodh Pandey, Registrar, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, and Prof. Alok Sinha, HOD, Department of Environmental Science & Engineering and Coordinator of EIACP (PC-RP). They were joined by other Deans, officers, faculty members, staff, and participants.

The participating mother-child pairs planted various saplings, including Peepal, Teak, Neem, Palash, Mango, Jamun, Sapota, Guava, etc. each contributing to the greenery and ecological balance of the campus.
The event was organized in collaboration with the Horticulture Section, O/o Dean (Infrastructure), IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, highlighting the institute’s collective effort towards environmental stewardship.
