The Sri Mayapur International School (SMIS) has launched a major environmental initiative to transform its campus into a diverse green space. This project, a collaboration between the Mayapur Master Plan office and SMIS Management, successfully introduced a wide variety of flora, totaling approximately 25 major trees and over 80 flowering bushes.
Guests at the event who participated in the planting included Anuttama Dasa (Global Minister of Communications) and Hrdaya Caitanya Das (GBC, Mayapur Co-director-in-charge of the Mayapur Master Plan), both members of the Mayapur Executive Board. Racitambara Devi Dasi (ACBSP), the SMIS principal, and Nandan Dasa, Secretary of the Mayapur Master Plan, also took part in the planting.
The selection of species was carefully planned following a biodiversity survey of the existing campus. The new trees include Neem, Swarna Champa, Mulberry, Amla, Jamrul, Papaya, Arjuna, Palash, Bibitaki, Haritaki, Gauri, Bakula, Kanchan, and Krishna Chura. To complement these, a large collection of bushes was added, featuring Kunda, Jasmine, Rangan, White Java, Kamini, and Gandhraj. Each plant was placed strategically to ensure healthy growth while maintaining clear space for the student sports areas.
