Appreciating the enthusiasm shown by the students in joining the ‘Clean India Campaign 2.0’, the Vice-Chancellor said participation of students, including girl students, in such important countrywide initiatives will certainly bring a discernible positive change in the society.
She said it’s the University endeavour to ensure that all its campuses are eco-friendly.
