Mumbai: Mumbai-based Thakur Polytechnic recently organised an NSS Residential Camp, from 02nd January 2018 to 08th January 2018, at Tribal Region, Rampur Dongari Pada and Jambu gaon, Dahanu, Palghar.

As part of its anti-plastic rally, the volunteers educated people on why plastic is poison, and how it is affecting our environment and to us. They later distributed environment friendly cloth bags among the people in the market.
Collected old clothes (albeit in good conditions), and blankets were also distributed among the villagers.
To pique the interest of the villagers a Cultural program was held which included dancing, singing and the performance of a skit. In addition, Sport activities were also conducted for tribal school children.

Taking up the pertinent issue of girl child education, the Camp also organised Beti bachao and Beti padao rally.
To contribute to the government’s relentless agenda on a clean India, the camp organised Swach Bharat Abhiyan on Gholwad beach and Gholwad’s police station.
Talking about the Camp, Dr. S. M. Ganechari, Principal, Thakur Polytechnic, said, “At Thakur Polytechnics, we believe in giving back to society, especially the economically and socially weaker section of the society, and creating a better life for people. Through this Camp we tried to do exactly that. Through our initiatives we hope we have achieved a little bit of it.”
