Poetry is a form of expression of one’s feelings on a particular thought, to express the feeling on protecting the earth a beautiful yet a very strong poem was delivered by a student. We also had songs sung by the students with a beautiful message conveying – ” Stop Deforestation” in Hindi and Kannada.
