KARACHI, 31 August 2026: Students at NED University planted trees on campus on Monday as part of a sustainability initiative organised by Treow Carbon Solutions with support from Meezan Bank.
The initiative goes beyond a one-day plantation drive. Students have pledged to care for and monitor the trees throughout their time at NED, allowing them to follow the trees’ growth until graduation.
“Planting a tree is only the beginning,” said Mehboob Alam, Head of MEP-Engineering, Sustainability-CSR and HSE at Meezan Bank. “Its real value comes from the responsibility that follows. By involving students in the continued care of these trees, we are encouraging a stronger sense of ownership and environmental responsibility.”
Treow Carbon Solutions worked with NED University to plan the activity and establish a structured approach to continued care. Its work focuses on key factors that support tree survival, including suitable species selection, soil preparation, correct planting, watering and regular monitoring.
“For the students, these trees are a lasting reminder of their time at NED,” said Mudabbir Maajid, Co-founder of Treow Carbon Solutions. “When they graduate, we hope they will see how their continued care has contributed to a greener university campus.”
The collaboration between NED University, Treow Carbon Solutions, Meezan Bank and participating students demonstrates how technical planning and shared responsibility can bring much needed greening initiatives beyond one day plantation drives.
