Lake Cleaning Activity
It all began when a group of passionate individuals came together with a shared vision: to restore the health and beauty of a nearby lake that had been suffering from pollution and neglect.
Keezhkattalai Lake
Equitas Employees & Volunteers from Guru Nanak College, volunteered for a lake clean-up activity.
Narayanapuram Lake
Equitas Employees & Volunteers from Jerusalem Engineering College, Vinayaka Missions University.
Volunteering for lake cleaning activities has a direct and immediate positive impact on the environment. By removing trash, debris, and pollutants from the lake and its surroundings, volunteers help improve water quality, restore natural habitats, and protect the diverse wildlife that depends on these ecosystems. Additionally, preventing further pollution and maintaining the cleanliness of the lake contributes to the overall health of the surrounding environment.
Distributing Tree Saplings
A Small Step to Save the Environment
In the face of escalating environmental challenges, taking action to protect and conserve our planet is crucial. One impactful way to contribute to environmental preservation is by distributing tree saplings. Distributing tree saplings is a small yet effective step towards saving the environment. Distribution of Tree Saplings was conducted at
Madurai, Salem, Kalapal, Mysore, Jabalpur, Villupuram, Nagaiyakottai, Udaipur, Tirunelveli, Perur, Indore, Inam Mattoor, Challakere, Nashik, Kolhapur, Pallavaram, Amaravati, Nagpur, Raipur and Bhopal
