LOWER DIR, October 14, 2026 — The Department of Education at the University of Malakand presented a flowering plant to Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Muhammad Idrees during his visit to the department, using the occasion to promote plantation and environmental responsibility.

The initiative reflects a growing emphasis on incorporating sustainability into institutional activities and encouraging simple, practical steps towards environmental protection.
Promoting Environmental Responsibility on Campus
Plantation initiatives at educational institutions can help raise awareness among students, faculty members and staff about the importance of protecting the natural environment. Depending on the species selected and the care provided, flowering plants and trees can also support local biodiversity and improve campus surroundings.
Universities have an important role in promoting environmental responsibility by encouraging sustainable practices and translating awareness into everyday action.
The University of Malakand department’s initiative sends a message that environmental consciousness can be reflected in even small institutional gestures, while helping build a culture of sustainability within educational communities.
The department encouraged people to embrace plantation and contribute to a greener future through collective action.
