Rather than giving an off on diwali.Schools and colleges can plan a visit to a botanical garden.So,that the students can learn about the nature

Gifts and Diwali goes hand in hand. One may exchange biodegradable gifts such as home made diyas,this is eco-friendly as well as unique. Give it a thought!!
