Imparting consciousness among society members toward protecting our environment is indeed a great service to society. Rotaractors of Tirpude’s Management Students proved their worthiness in this area when they took this responsibility upon themselves.

A team of eighteen young students volunteered to participate in a massive programme of Nirmaalya collection during Ganesh Visarjan on 15^th Sept., 2016. This enthusiastic rotaractors worked in tandem with volunteers of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, under guidance of Rotary club of Nagpur members. This is a mammoth task and the students worked in batches of 2 to 3 hours each from afternoon till late evening.

The activities undertaken were: collecting Nirmaalya (floral offerings) before immersion of Lord Ganesha, handing over the collected Nirmaalya to NMC workers, encouraging people to immerse idols in artificial tanks created for this purpose and educating people on protecting water bodies from human pollution.
