Poor distributed woolen clothes under ‘Vastra Arpan’ in E-Max







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 .

The E-max Institutes launched this campaign to provide winter clothes to poor families living
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.
