The students of merit have been provided mentorship apart from the (online) internships.
The society during
the harsh winters of 2017-18 surveyed some areas of Greater Noida (Delhi NCR)
and distributed blankets to the roadside needy and people in the slums there from
the contribution it received post its appeal on many platforms.
