The third event is Dear Trellis which will commemorate International Year of Plant Health 2020 through writing, sketching, taking photograph and recording plant messages dedicated to loved ones in the future. This particular event is open to all students. The messages may be posted at www.bitm.gov.in/deartrellis. Selected entries will be displayed at BITM’s virtual trello-board.

These apart, there is an event of planting of saplings also. The BITM staff-members will be planting those saplings inside the BITM premises at 11 am.
