The NSS unit of the College under Swacch Diwali, Shubh Diwali Campaign took initiative to promote a clean, green, and single-use plastic-free Diwali celebration from 9th to 11th November 2023. The campaign involved various activities carried out by students, focusing on creating awareness and motivating people to make environmentally conscious choices during the festive season.
The activities were as follows:
Cleanliness Drive: Students enthusiastically took part in a cleanliness drive within their neighborhood, focusing on cleaning public places and streets to ensure a hygienic environment for everyone.
Awareness Programs: The students organized awareness programs, educating their community about the environmental impact of Diwali celebrations. Emphasis was placed on the importance of reducing waste and adopting sustainable practices. The students actively advocated for a single-use plastic-free Diwali, utilizing social media platforms to spread awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution and suggesting alternatives for sustainable celebrations.
Promoting Responsible Consumption: Engaging with local businesses and vendors, the students encouraged them to provide eco-friendly products. Additionally, they motivated people to opt for locally-made items such as diyas, cloth bags, and compostable decorations.
13 NSS volunteers actively participated in the campaign. The Swachh Diwali, Shubh Diwali Campaign proved to be a successful initiative, instilling a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness among students and the community.
