Awareness Drives
As part of the SDG cell initiative of Liberal Arts:
We urge all our faculty, staff and students to – as much as possible – walk, cycle and take public transport options to work. It makes us and our Earth healthier. It is time to go beyond slogans and symbols by doing our bit to decongest our roads and contribute to air quality. It is time to take action. It is time to take care.
We urge our faculty, staff and students to wear handlooms at least once a week to the campus. We can show our support for India’s incredible artisans by wearing handloom clothes to work. It is also environmentally-friendly and it is time to wear it with pride.
We urge all our faculty, staff and students to take part in the practice of 'bring your own utensils', highlighting the impact it creates on reducing the waste generated on campus.
