Pond-cleaning drive

Chandigarh, March 18

To celebrate World Water Day on March 22, NSS volunteers of Panjab University supported the pond cleaning and awareness drive of L&T’s CSR activity at Joula Khurd village, Dera Bassi.

More than 25 volunteers of the company and NSS cadets met the village residents to propagate the benefits of clean water in ponds. Villagers, along with sarpanch Parminder Singh, also committed to keeping the pond clean. “I will make efforts to create walkways around the pond and beautify the entire place by planting more trees around the park,” said Parminder Singh.

The efforts of student volunteers were acknowledged by the L&T team and they were awarded certificates of appreciation. Dr Anupreet Kaur Mavi coordinated the activity as programme officer, NSS, Panjab University, with support from Dr Amandeep Singh Marwaha, associate director, Central Placement Cell, Panjab University, Chandigarh.
