Diwali, India’s biggest and most popular festival, is just around the corner. It is a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. It’s time to go shopping, decorate your home, and prepare for the year’s biggest celebration. Unfortunately, the beautiful festival is also marked by alarming levels of pollution caused by the injudicious bursting of harmful firecrackers. The use of firecrackers not only pollutes the environment but is also harmful to people’s health. Hence to create awareness NSS unit our College conducted an Article writing competition on 21^st October, 2022. The topic was “Pollution Free Diwali”. A good response from students was witnessed. Mr.  Mathiuri Ruangmei from B.Voc II Semester grabbed the cash prize of Rs. 500/-. Prof. Pallavi Deshpande was the Judge for the event.The articles written by the students were widely circulated through social media.

Dr. Ashlesha Nagpure NSS Program Officer and Prof.T.Naidu jointly collaborated towards the successful conduction of this program.
