An exceptional initiative has been taken to increase affection towards trees in Akshir M Chowdhury Charity Trust Primary School of Dhaleshwar village near the border of South Union of Brahmanbaria upazila. The initiative is that students will get extra 50 marks in the annual examination if they take the trees distributed from the school and plant them at home. And if not careful, 50 marks will be deducted from the total marks.
This instruction was given by the school during the distribution of fruit tree saplings of various varieties to the students on Friday afternoon by the Akhaura Nature and Environment Club of Brahmanbaria to deal with the threat of climate change, beautify the nature, protect the balance of the environment and create a green environment. Hundreds of students of Akshir M Chowdhury Charity Trust Primary School located on the premises of Rabia Khatun Smriti Pathaga of Dhaleshwar village are asked to take care of these saplings.
Akhaura Nature and Environment Club convener, Journalist Rubel Ahmed presided over the seedling distribution ceremony and Supreme Court lawyer Akshir M Chowdhury, advisor and founder president of Rabia Khatun Smriti Library, was present as the chief guest at the sapling distribution ceremony. Asia Sunny Industry International Co. Ltd. General Manager Jesse Zhang and Morton Sanitaryware Manufacture Ltd. Sales Manager Penson C. were present as special guests. At the end of the ceremony, two foreign nationals present planted a medicinal tree and two fruit trees in the grounds of the library premises and Akshir M Chowdhury Charity Trust Primary School.
In the speech of the chief guest, Advocate Akshir M Chowdhury said, ‘Everyone should plant more and more trees to protect the environment. In the current situation, due to the pressure of the population in our country, most of the houses are being built by destroying the cropland. Trees are constantly being cut. No one follows the rules of the forest department. So the environment is under threat today. In this way, if the plants and cropland are lost in large numbers, the country will be affected by natural disasters.
He said, ‘Not only that, the food problem will also become evident at some point. So there is no alternative to planting trees to protect the balance of the environment. One-third of the vegetation that was seen all around in earlier days is not visible now. If this continues, the temperature will rise and the environment will have an adverse effect. Most of the regions of the country are flooded with water during the monsoon season.
