World Population Day is today! Today, we honour the lengths people will go for family and love. There is no issue with population. Our biggest asset it is.
We should be concerned about a growing population since it is expanding exponentially while resources are expanding arithmetically. Let's collaborate to increase awareness in order to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies worldwide. Force cannot be used to control your own population, but consumption can divert it..

International Plastic Bag Free Day, celebrated on July 3, is a global initiative that aims to eliminate the use of plastic bags. Every year, this day is observed to create awareness about the threat caused by plastic pollution to the natural environment, be it land or marine life.

Plastic is everywhere and its quantity increases every day. To reduce this plastic, we have found a certain innovation of engineer's.

The tranquil, forbidding forest has the charm of a lost, forgotten land. We, the NSS IITB team, celebrates "Vanmahotsav" for a week from July 1 to July 7 in order to raise awareness among our society and highlight the value of forests.

"A Father does not tell you that he loves you, he shows you."
This Father's day, our volunteers celebrated this special day with the children of Aman Day Care centre. The children expressed what their fathers mean to them through their art and poetry.
Have a look at the glimpses of the event.

NSS IIT Bombay has always lived its aim to serve humanity through its events and initiatives. During the pandemic, when people were bound to stay indoors, We did our part through online activities. And now, as everything is coming on track, we are ready for the transition!
Initiatives under Educational Outreach resume offline volunteering at the Aman Daycare Center after two years. Muskaan and Neem School conducted drawing and story sessions to enhance creativity and instill moral values. Volunteers under Ummeed conducted classes to aid the kids of IITB working staff. The Computer Literacy Program(CLP) was re-commenced to provide fundamental technical exposure. The NOCS volunteers also visited NGOs Vidya and LCCWA, interacting with and encouraging kids to study well.
The activities were a pleasure for the kids and the NSS Family. We look forward to organizing more sessions, thereby enlightening people's lives through education!

This Menstrual Hygiene Day, as we break myths and taboos about menstruation, NSS IIT Bombay takes a moment to celebrate and wish those who have been devoted and dedicated to the cause.

"It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you do in life—you never stop needing your mom". Doesn't this quote make so much sense? When we
at our lowest there's always a warm hand patting our heads, she never judges you for who you are, always caring, always protecting, that's how
god made Moms. Mothers are like buttons—they hold everything together. Let's celebrate this day with our supermoms and be thankful for what they
have done for us. NSS IIT Bombay wishes a very Happy Mothers' day to all the Supermoms out there.
