National Service Scheme Unit of St. Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering & Technology, Nagpur, participated in the "Swachhata Hi Seva, Garbage-Free Bharat Campaign" on 27th September 2023 at Sonegaon Lake. The event aimed to handle Nirmalaya properly and contribute to providing a clean venue for all devotees. Devotees would hand over flower garlands, ash collected from incense sticks, coconut shells, and other Nirmala to the NSS volunteers present. Subsequently, they separated degradable and non-degradable materials (including any plastic materials) and deposited them in large tanks provided by the officials for further disposal.

This initiative involved the collection and management of Nirmalya deposited at the premises of an artificial tank after every Ganesh idol Visarjan. The volunteers successfully conducted the Nirmalaya collection drive under the observation and guidance of the NSS faculty coordinator. The event was coordinated by Prof. Priti C. Golar and Dr. Ashlesha Nagpure. College NSS volunteers and faculty members collaborated with citizens during the Ganesh Immersion process.
