VASCO: INS Mandovi conducted a tree plantation drive on World Environment Day. The main purpose of the drive was to create a sense of awareness about the environment and to encourage residents to make a personal contribution for its betterment. All personnel serving on the base as well as their families participated in the activity during which 848 saplings were planted. An extensive greening campaign has been undertaken in the last year by INS Mandovi along with the Naval Wives Welfare Association (NWWA). Over 4 lakh saplings of various types have been planted in the 250 acres campus so far and the aim is to plant 10 lakh saplings by the end of the year. All the saplings used in this ‘Green Drive’ are from a home grown nursery inside the base.
