The government school located in Turbanahalli, Yelahanka, Bengaluru, was the location where a newly registered batch of NSS students joined hands to decorate the walls of the school to bring joy to the faces of students studying in that school. The colourful wall has definitely changed the environment of the school, motivating the students to come to school regularly. Around 56 students were involved in the campaign, and they painted around 15 walls with beautiful drawings and sketches. The NSS team at PU participated in the Green Campus Project called Haritvam in coordination with EY Global Ltd. Company and Sparsha Trust for the Environment Literacy Campaign held on December 15, 2022, at Viveka Auditorium, Jayanagar. Six schools were selected, and a mentor was assigned by the Yuvaka Sangha to each group consisting of five volunteers from Presidency University. The volunteers visited the schools and created awareness about water conservation and waste management. Students were asked to create projects on the themes, and they came up with very creative projects like terrariums, piggy banks made from plastic bottles, etc. PU volunteers hosted competitions for the students such as essay writing, pick and speak, drawing competitions, and slogan writing. The PU NSS volunteers had organised an essay competition on the occasion of "International Women’s Day" on the topic of "women.". The history of "International Women’s Day" can be traced back to the early 20th century, when women around the world began advocating for better working conditions, voting rights, and other forms of equality. Around 50 volunteers participated in this event, with boys also taking part enthusiastically. The event was monitored by the NSS coordinator, Mrs. Renuka Bhagwat, Asst. prof. ECE SOE, and the student coordinators, Manasa CS and Abhinav Kashyap.
