Ek Kaam Desh Ke Naam




A drive started by a group of students of Nirma University, Ahmedabad to collect used sheets of paper that are blank on one side is gaining pace and supporters. The drive has reached the doorsteps of residents of housing societies. They have collected 250000 sheets so far!
First-year students of the varsity gathered partially used pieces of pa-per and turned them into notebooks for children studying in municipal schools.

It’s heartening to see to youngsters involved in activities that benefit society.
One of the students behind this innovative drive, Hardik Parmar, hopes that more people step forward and donate partially used paper.

“We can’t do door-to-door collection because of time constraint. However, if a residential society expresses interest to contribute, we will go there without fail,” he said. To date, Hardik and others have collected 2 lakh pages!
