EVERY STUDENT'S GREEN COMPANION

-By Kartik Khanna

Plants are the unsung heroes of our planet, silently working to sustain life in various ways, from providing oxygen and food to maintaining ecosystems and supporting human well-being. Their importance is immeasurable. In this blog, we will delve into the importance of plants in students lives. Plants are essential for students in different aspects. Plants improve students physical and mental health, boost their academic performance, and enhance their creativity.

Health Benefits:

Plants help students to improve their physical health by keeping the air around them clean and clear. This helps to improve the quality of air in classrooms and other parts of the school. Better air quality leads to improved respiratory function and reduced allergies among students. Plants help to boost the immune systems of students, as according to American studies, exposure to certain varieties of plants helps to increase the production of white cells among human beings, which are considered essential for fighting infections and help to build a strong immune system.

Stress Relief:

As we all know, these days most of the students suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression because of cutthroat academic competition. It is really essential for all the students to elevate their stress. Studies have shown that spending time with nature can help reduce stress. Due to the fact that plants release phytoncides, which are the hormones that have calming effects and keep students relaxed and focused.

Improvements in academic results:

Plants in education institutions can improve concentration and productivity. As a result, it would lead to better academic results for the students.

Environmental Responsibility:

Moreover, nowadays students are so much occupied with their academics that they don't get time to understand their environmental responsibility, and taking care of plants can also instill a sense of responsibility towards nature among them. It also helps to promote eco-friendly practices such as recycling and composting among youth.

Uplifts mood:

Spending time with nature boosts the mood and increases the feeling of happiness. Plants release endorphins, which are the hormones that make us feel happy. Having plants in classrooms and other schools will help students stay happier and more motivated.

Practical Knowledge:

In addition to all this, plants also provide practical knowledge to the students, as they can be used to teach them about biology, ecology, and the importance of biodiversity.

Temperature Regulation:

Because of global warming, the temperature of the earth is constantly on the rise. Plants help to regulate the temperature of indoor spaces, which is really beneficial in a hot and human climate where students may be more comfortable in cooler environments.

Sound absorbers:

One hidden fact about plants, which most of us would not know, is that they also absorb sound, which results in a reduction of noise levels in indoor places. This creates more conducive learning environments for students and helps them to focus more.

Aesthetic Beauty:

Above all, the aesthetic beauty of plants significantly enhances the visual appearance of the study spaces. This contributes to a more pleasant and inviting atmosphere for students.

Increases social interaction:

Gardening and plant care can be considered group activities, thereby allowing students to work together, share their experiences, and build social connections.

In a nutshell, we can conclude that plants do have an essential role to play in the lives of students. The importance of plants in the students lives cannot be overstated. Plants provide a lot of benefits that are an integral part of students lifestyles.

And if the habit of gardening is inculcated among today's youth, then the world would indeed become the best place to live in, one thati s full of green peace.
