On this occasion, Viral Desai said, “My main aim is that with the provision of basic facilities these children should also develop their utmost concern, care and understanding for the environment. After all, in today’s world we need citizens who are truly committed to the environment. That is why I have decided to make this school the first to be based on the theme of ecosystem restoration and climate action.”
