Book A Plant-This venture by Enactus-Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce was launched with the primary objective of controlling the pollution levels in the capital of the country and rendering entrepreneurial skills to the plant nursery owners.As the name suggests,plants can be booked and they will be delivered at your doorstep in about 3-4 days.

Delhi,one of the most polluted cities in the world was desperately in need of some green friends.Increasing number of cars, industries,construction sites in and around Delhi-NCR have led to a significant rise in air pollution.The environmental damage is massive.

Plant nurseries were also on the verge of shutting down.

Enactus SGGSCC realized the potential of plants and trees in preventing further harm to the environment and connected it with a very unrelated issue of the shutting down of plant nurseries.It majorly revolves around environmental protection by the means of promoting gardening and encouraging people to keep houseplants.It aims to supply air purifying saplings to the residential apartments and private lawns at minimal costs.It also gave city people a chance to book and name a sapling in their name at some place of their choice.The environment plays a crucial role in establishing the paradigm of future development and needs to be viewed holistically.
