Under the umbrella of this visionary scheme, diverse activities are hosted such as cleanliness drives, health camps, awareness campaigns, etc. This year’s theme is entitled “Swabhav Swachhata- Sankar Swachhata”. Let us have a look at the glimpses of events arranged by our NSS Cell:

This initiative received exceptional admiration from the village community and made them understand the significance of cleanliness in various aspects of life.
Celebrating International Day of Sign Languages
To commemorate the International Day of Sign Languages our NSS Unit VII hosted a spectacular event to endorse the significance of this day. The event aims to promote inclusivity and sensitivity among participants towards individuals suffering from hearing impairments. On this occasion Dr. Janpreet interacted with the students and shared his insightful views on the importance of sign language, he elaborated on how empathetic behavior can positively impact the hearing-impaired community.
