The people of all sections appreciate such act of schools. Devajit Moran, the secretary of the green bird society, a man who has been working since long to save nature and animals in northeast, said, “As students are the change agents to build a better coexistence for animals. Taking a new vision in mind with a mission to create an animal – friendly northeast and Eco – friendly northeast we should go among them and conduct educational programme. “
