Description

On October 2nd, 2024, in alignment with the Joy of Giving Week, the Rotaract Club of JP Nagar actively participated in the district’s "Daan Utsav" initiative at Mahaveer Riviera. This city-wide campaign, aimed at promoting sustainable waste management practices, involved setting up collection points for citizens to donate various forms of recyclable and disposable waste, including e-waste, single-use plastics, clothes, books, and other materials. Our club set up a collection station to encourage the local community to adopt better waste segregation habits and create awareness about the importance of repurposing and recycling waste. As part of our club’s contribution, members gathered at the location, not only collecting materials from the community but also bringing recyclable items from their homes and neighbourhoods. The collected items were carefully sorted, with certain materials selected for sale to the organization "Trash to Cash." The funds raised from these sales will be channelled into our club’s upcoming Community Service initiatives, furthering our commitment to social impact. The event saw enthusiastic involvement from club members, as well as positive engagement from the community, who appreciated the informative sessions on waste segregation and recycling. Our participation in Daan Utsav helped reinforce our club's dedication to environmental stewardship and community welfare, with members expressing a strong commitment to supporting similar initiatives in the future. The experience underscored the collective power of Rotaract in driving change and making a tangible difference in society.
