    We organized a skit and a demonstration to highlight how over irrigation and unregulated traditional methods of irrigation leads to low crop yield, pollution of groundwater resources, and how use of innovative technology can solve such issues.

  • Orphanage Visits

    Orphanage visits focus on providing care, support, and educational resources to children in need. Volunteers spend time with the children, helping with their studies, organizing fun activities, and offering mentorship to nurture their growth and development. These visits aim to create a supportive environment where children feel valued and motivated to pursue their dreams.

    The Plantation Drive focuses on increasing green cover and promoting environmental sustainability. Volunteers participate in tree-planting activities across campus and nearby areas, aiming to create a healthier and more eco-friendly environment.

  • Graduation Collection Drive

    "Happiness comes in byte-sized pieces, some small, some large. It infects one person, and spreads like a ripple, till it becomes an epidemic. We rise by lifting others." NSS IIT Bombay continues its struggle to give more meaning to someone's graduation and to someone's need.

  • UMMEED

    We teach the kids of construction workers from the labor camp and are grateful to our volunteers for sparking this 'UMMEED' in these young hearts.

  • Permaculture

    Whenever there's been fusion between science and nature, the product has always been amazing. Permaculture is one such thing where the agriculture is just made more fruitful not by chemicals but by utilising the elements of natur itself, be it the sun, or wind, or soil.

  • The Wild Side of IIT-Bombay

    We had a "TALK". The study, led by Dr Quadros alongwith WWF (World Wildlife Fund), continues to be relevant to this day as the sole source of information on the flora and fauna of the campus.

  • Old Age Home Visits

    Visits to old age homes foster intergenerational connections and provide emotional support to the elderly. Volunteers engage in activities like storytelling, games, and conversations, aiming to bring joy and companionship to senior citizens. These visits help bridge the gap between generations, promoting mutual understanding and respect while enhancing the emotional well-being of the elderly.
