One batch of volunteers cleared the garbage, plastic and other pieces of papers strewn here and there and cleaned the campus. Another batch of volunteers cleared the sand accumulated beside the footpath and road and helped in easy traffic movement on the road. Pieces of glass, stones and sand were removed from the parking slot to facilitate parking of more vehicles. Due to lack of signboard at a prominent place visitors were put to inconvenience which was addressed by our volunteers by putting up a new sign board indicating directions of various offices located in the campus. Our volunteers also distributed the pamphlets on awareness in the nearby area. The drive was carried out from 7.30 am to 10.30 am on the 19th April.
This is a part of the 40 weeks Cleanliness Drive being organized by the Ramakrishna Mission and initiated on the 1st February. Some snaps taken and Report of this programme are attached. You may please publish this as a news item in your esteemed papers/channels for awareness of the public.
