"The word Gandhigiri,used in the film 'Lage Raho Munnabhai', has made everyone feel that the word can help in motivating people in today's world. Today, these students have done voluntary service in planting trees. By doing this, they are motivating people to conserve nature which is bound to benefit public health," said Dr. P K Gupta, senior doctor, King George Medical College and Hospital.

The students planted saplings and watered all of them.

"We are watering the plants and taking care of them," said Deepak Yadav, a medical student.
