The Rotary Foundation Trustees and the Rotary International Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the Environment as the seventh Area of Focus in June, 2020, president of the club Devkumar Thoudam stated in a release.

"Saving the environment has become an important issue to address worldwide and Rotary Club of Imphal is contributing its bit by planting trees and spreading the message across the state every year," the president stated. 

Thoudam also appealed to everyone to plant more trees as trees  provide oxygen, reduce water run-off thereby reducing soil erosion, pollution and effects of flooding.
