A newspaper donation drive was organised in the Arugul campus of IIT Bhubaneswar from 10th to 18th April 2016 with the aim of reusing them to make paper bags. The motive of the programme was to eliminate the use of polythene bags in the shopping complex. The event was conducted in association with SGR Pvt Ltd Bhubaneswar. A whopping 428 kg of paper was collected from the rooms in Mahanadi Hall Of Residence and donated for further processing.
In June, around 600 strong paper bags were obtained and given to the shops in the shopping complex for their use thus fulfilling the goal of the event.
Overall, the first event of Souls for Solace after elections was a massive success owing to the commendable support from the students, Warden and the Students Gymkhana of IIT Bhubaneswar.
A tree plantation drive was organised at the institute on the occasion of 70th Independence Day. The plantation was done in the presence of honourable Director, Prof. RV Raja Kumar and Dean of Student Affairs, Dr VR Pedireddi. The plantation drive saw the enthusiastic participation of the freshers. The society will continue its small initiatives towards making our Arugul campus a clean and green eco-friendly campus.
President's Word
Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar, from its humble start in 2008 has come down a long way in its strife to become one of the leading institutes of the country. Achieving this success in this short a journey would have been impossible without the contribution of the students and extensive support of the Students' Gymkhana, the students' representative body. Established in 2009, the Gymkhana has been efficiently working as an independent, self-governing and democratic organization that has bridged the gap between the students and the administration.
From managing various societies catering to different interests and talents of the students, organizing various intra-college co-curricular, technical and sports events and competitions, holding informative workshops, celebrating the festivals at hostels with great fervor and organizing the institute's very own socio-cultural and technical fests, Alma Fiesta and Wissenaire respectively, the Students' Gymkhana has played a commendable role in nurturing the extra-curricular talents of the students, enhancing their personality and cultivating leadership qualities in them to equip them for a successful independent corporate and social life.
It gives me immense pride and pleasure to be heading this organization, I congratulate all its members for their achievements so far and extend my support and good wishes to continue these appreciable efforts.
