With the increasing
cold wave in the northern region, the member of Youth Club “Paryas” of E-max Group
of Institutions has started campaign for
warm clothes distribution to the cold affected poor people of the
district to mitigate their sufferings. A program to give out winter coats and
blankets was initiated with help from faculty and students. The community
outreach initiative, entitled “Vastra Arpan – Denote your clothes for Charity,”
begins. During the campaign winter clothing being collected from public and distributed to poor across the region.
Student coordinators have pledged to provide over 500 winter clothing items to
those less fortunate. Activists of the institute under its Warm Clothes Distribution
Project collected old warm clothes from the different areas of Ambala,
Chandigarh and Panchkula & distributed those among poor people .
under open sky in cold
weather. People donated old clothes, woolens, blankets for the poor. The
clothes were collected at three collection centres each at Chandigarh, Ambala & Panchkula.
President of Youth
Club Paryas Sunil Arya said that used
clothes are not really importance to medium people in our society but it is
very important to poorest of the poor and vulnerable people because their
livings are based on daily profit and they have no part of reserve money for
buying new or used clothes to wear. We interviewed some poorest of the poor and
vulnerable families they reported us that most clothes they have they got from
contributors 95 per cent. During this social recreation activity for students
of emax,they packaged used clothes into bags and accompanying them along to
families in nearby villages of college having brick kilns, when they have most members especially their
children were kept their bodies without proper warm clothes.
Chairman PR Bansal
appreciated the efforts of student committee and said that to help distribute
clothing during this chilling winter will definitely help folks who need it
most. It’s also a chance for our students to soak up the College’s mission of
promoting service to the community.” CMD Om Prakash Aggarwal urged the NGOs and
socio-cultural organizations of the society to stand beside the cold victims
here for mitigating their sufferings caused by cold wave.
