A cleanliness drive
RAC T M A Pai, RID 3182, organised a cleaning drive across its college campus and nearby public areas in association with the Rotary Club of Manipal, bringing together students and Rotarians for a community service focused on environmental responsibility.
The drive saw active participation from club members, who worked in teams to clean different sections of the campus, pathways, and areas surrounding the institution. Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Manipal joined the activity, interacting with students and encouraging them throughout the programme.
“Apart from improving the cleanliness of the surroundings, the initiative also aimed to create awareness about the importance of maintaining shared public spaces,” says Bharath Poojary, a club member. Such activities help students understand that cleanliness is not limited to institutions alone, but is also connected to public health, discipline, and civic responsibility, she says. “By involving both Rotaractors and Rotarians, the drive created an opportunity for collaboration between students and senior community leaders through hands-on service.”
