CGI Social Activity– Save Earth
Going green is easier than you think! There are little things we can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and make a less harmful impact on the environment. Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility -- it’s a privilege. CGI had organized a cleanliness drive on the Highway adjoining our campus, approximately up 5 kms from Fatehgarh Sahib. In Fatehgarh Sahib, "Shaheedi Jor Mela" was held on 26-28th December. This is an annual affair. Lakhs of people attend it every year. Lots of stalls are set-up on the sides of the roads providing scrumptious food for the devotees free of cost. But the sad part is, it creates a lot of uncleanliness as tonnes of garbage is littered around by people. So, CGI team took this initiative and decided to pick up disposable plates, glasses, plastics (non-biodegradable stuff) which remains left out around the roadsides. Approx. 100 faculty & staff members participated in this social cause. It turned out to be a successful activity thus, giving a positive message for keeping our environment clean.
