Chitkara University NSS Volunteers Lead Green Initiative at Village Jhansla

As part of the “Swachhata Hi Seva” campaign, NSS Volunteers from Chitkara University, Punjab, conducted an impactful environmental initiative in the adopted village of Jhansla. The event took place at the Government Senior Secondary School, where volunteers teamed up with the local gardening team to promote sustainability through tree planting and a cleanliness drive.

The day’s activities began with the volunteer’s planting saplings around the school premises. Each tree planted symbolised a commitment to enhancing air quality and beautifying the environment, aligning with Chitkara University’s broader goal of fostering environmental responsibility. The tree plantation was followed by an oath-taking ceremony, where volunteers pledged to protect and nurture the environment, reinforcing their dedication to sustainability.

In addition to planting trees, the volunteers carried out a thorough cleanliness drive around the school. They collected litter and ensured that the surroundings were left clean and tidy. This effort underscored the objectives of the “Swachhata Hi Seva” campaign, aimed at promoting hygiene and environmental consciousness. The volunteers’ teamwork and dedication set a positive example for the local community, emphasising the importance of maintaining cleanliness.

By the end of the initiative, the saplings stood as symbols of the volunteers’ efforts and commitment to long-term environmental impact. This initiative at Jhansla is a testament to Chitkara University’s dedication to social responsibility and community service. Through such activities, the university aims to instill a sense of sustainability and civic duty among its students, encouraging them to contribute meaningfully to society. The event highlighted how small, collective actions can lead to significant and lasting changes for a greener future.
