We would be keen if students ( from Faridabad) from the college can join the Green Force - this is a local community initiative that promotes green and sustainable way of life, with a clear objective of making Faridabad as one of the most green cities in India over the next 5 years. We need young volunteers to spread the word - and do good work.
