On the occasion of World Environment Day, Ramakrishna Mission, Narottam Nagar organised a Vanamahotsav (Tree Plantation Festival) on 5 June 2026 in collaboration with the local Forest Department. As part of this initiative, 250 saplings of Teak were planted within the Mission premises, symbolising the Order’s enduring commitment to environmental stewardship and the harmonious relationship between humanity and nature.
Prior to the plantation drive, a brief meeting was convened on the premises. Shri Diwang Lowang, Range Forest Officer, welcomed the gathering and set the tone for the occasion. Shri Bajum Taba, Divisional Forest Officer, then addressed the assembly, underscoring the significance of World Environment Day and the urgent need for collective action in preserving forest resources. Shri Wanghey Lowang, Forest Officer, Deomali, along with scores of other forest officials, graced the occasion with their presence.
Staff members of the Mission and students of Classes IX, X, XI, and XII participated actively in the tree plantation activity. Light refreshments were served to all those present at the conclusion of the event.
Drawing and Painting Activity on World Environment Day
In conjunction with the Vanamahotsav, students of Classes X, XI, and XII engaged in a Drawing and Painting Activity centred on the theme of environmental awareness. Through their artwork, the students conveyed meaningful messages on the importance of caring for the natural world and the need for individual responsibility in its protection. The works of art served as a visual affirmation of the Mission’s ethos of conscious and sustained effort towards a more sustainable future.
The initiative sought to inspire awareness among the younger generation and encourage them to contribute positively to environmental conservation in their daily live
