Dear All,

After having three visits to Mangaon Tribal School, we are planning to carry out a number of activities in coming weeks:

Tree plantation: For the last two-three months, there has been tremendous cutting of trees in IIT Campus. Although cutting of trees are being done for some necessary tasks(widening of Main-road, construction of Buildings), it is our responsibility to put efforts to plant trees in other parts of the IIT Campus that are being deprived of this green habitation. Our volunteers are looking forward for the necessary places in IIT Campus for plantation, and hopefully, we will carry out this activity as soon as possible. We will give you the details as soon as possible.

Bio-gas plant: Earlier there used to be one Bio-gas plant opposite to H-4, where the cow-dung and other disposable litter was supposed to be disposed and the gas obtained from it were used in many ways. But, this didn’t work and the efforts went in ruin. So, we have decided to take this initiative of re-establishing this bio-gas plant, preferably near to Staff-C. Two of our volunteers have already talked about this, and the process is still on.

Staff C Cleanliness: Earlier we did it in the month of June(2008) and provided some disposal facility (3-4 dustbins), but it didn’t work well. Two of our volunteers talked to the committee responsible for the Staff canteen area and they gave a number of reasons for the improper functioning of the disposal facilities over there. The reasons were:
1. Insufficient number of dustbins
2. Inadequate man-power(workers) is allocated for the area in-front of Staff-C.
3. Cattle in Staff-C area are also a big hurdle. They had broken three dustbins that we deployed over there.
So, we have made a definite plan for the proper and permanent disposal of the Staff Canteen area. And for this process, we again have to redo our earlier activity of cleanliness. We are looking forward to carryout this activity on the coming weekend.

In addition to this, many of our volunteers are putting a lot of efforts in setting up the website, Career counseling and Educational Videos.

The main idea to convey here is that we have a number of things to do here itself in IIT Bombay, and these activities are really important as nobody cares about this. Yesterday, 11 of our volunteers(Amita, Deepti, Jagdish, Mitesh, Pulkit, Pushpraj, Rakhi, Sanket D, Shalini, Sujesha, Vijay) went to Akansha Organization for some assessment task, and we all have to go again at-least once to their centers for the assessment. But, we had some discussion yesterday and we realized that we can put more constructive efforts in IIT Campus itself, rather than putting efforts to collaborate with an organization like Akansha. We have a number of things and activities to do even in IIT itself. To conclude, make yourself ready for the upcoming activities of Kritgynata, 'Giving Back to Society'.


Thanks & Regards
Kritgynata Team
