EMRSs, a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, dedicated an hour of voluntary service to cleaning their school premises and surrounding neighborhoods. This contribution is aligned with the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign, reinforcing the essence of communal responsibility towards maintaining cleanliness.

In addition to EMRSs, NSTFDC planned numerous events at multiple locations, encouraging wider community participation.

The aim is to mobilize the local community, including students, to actively contribute to this noble cause.
