CLEAN-UP DRIVE
Organized by the Biological Science Club, MAHE Co-operative College of Teacher Education, Mahe
Date: 10 September 2024
Time: 10:00 AM
The Biological Science Club of MAHE Co-operative College of Teacher Education, Mahe organized a Clean-Up Drive on 10th September 2024 at 10:00 AM with the objective of promoting environmental responsibility, maintaining a hygienic campus environment, and encouraging students to actively participate in conservation activities. The initiative aimed to create awareness about waste management, cleanliness, and the importance of preserving natural surroundings.
The programme began with a short briefing on the purpose of the activity and instructions for conducting the clean-up effectively and safely. Students were divided into teams and assigned specific areas within the campus and surrounding premises. Equipped with gloves, bags, and basic cleaning tools, students enthusiastically took part in collecting litter, segregating waste, and cleaning pathways, garden areas, and open spaces.
Participants were educated on the importance of proper waste segregation, composting organic waste, and reducing the use of plastics. The activity helped students understand how small responsible actions contribute significantly to environmental protection. Faculty members supervised the drive and guided students in identifying biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste.
The Clean-Up Drive not only improved the physical environment of the campus but also fostered teamwork, discipline, and a sense of community ownership among students. By engaging directly with environmental issues, students gained firsthand experience in maintaining a clean and healthy ecosystem.
The programme concluded with words of appreciation from the coordinators, who encouraged students to continue practising cleanliness in their daily lives and to inspire others to adopt eco-friendly habits. The Clean-Up Drive was a meaningful and impactful initiative, reflecting the Biological Science Club’s commitment to promoting environmental awareness, responsibility, and sustainable practices among students.
