the method involves planting diverse native species in close proximity, encouraging

rapid growth and the development of dense green spaces in a short time. This

innovative approach is particularly beneficial in urban areas where space is limited, offering an eco-friendly solution to pollution and deforestation.

Miyawaki method enables large-scale tree plantation within a limited timeframe, making it an effective strategy for urban greening. Principal, Mr. S.K. Mishra emphasized the dual benefit of waste reduction and environmental conservation through this technique. He commended the students for their innovative approach and commitment to sustainability.
