News from NIPE | A “Beach Clean-up Drive”

A “Beach Clean-up Drive” was organized by the NSS Unit of Nitte Institute of Professional Education on 17th October 2023 at Bengre beach, Mangaluru. 69 volunteers of BBA & BCA programs participated in the 3-hour beach clean-up activity. The students collected 160 kgs of plastic and other debris, which was subsequently sent to a processing unit for recycling. In addition to their clean-up efforts, the students engaged with beachgoers and the general public, urging them to prioritize cleanliness and reduce the use of plastic items, which had been a significant contributor to the litter problem at the beach. Prof. Dr. Pradeepa KS, NSS Coordinator and Mr. Daksha M, Asst. Professor coordinated the drive and actively participated in the same.
