IEEE GRSS COMMUNITY CONNECT
IEEE GRSS COMMUNITY CONNECT
As part of our commitment to social responsibility, Community Connect was organized during June–July 2025 under the IEEE GRSS Student Chapter. The initiative was designed to engage students in environmental conservation and community welfare, with activities focused on lake cleaning, tree plantation, fundraising, and used clothes donation. The purpose of Community Connect was to create visible impact at the grassroots level by addressing real-world issues such as pollution, lack of greenery, and the struggles of underfunded institutions. The event also promoted student learning, teamwork, and empathy, proving that meaningful change begins with small, consistent actions.
The Story
Day 1 – June 15, 2025 (Lake Cleaning Drive)
The program began with a lake cleaning campaign, where volunteers worked to remove plastics, bottles, and other pollutants from a local water body. The drive restored the natural beauty of the area, raised awareness about waste management, and inspired community members to join in.
Day 2 – June 22, 2025 (Tree Plantation at home)
In collaboration with Arise and Shine Charitable trust, a home for the elderly and children, members planted 50 saplings within the premises. This activity not only improved the green cover but also built an emotional connection with the residents, reinforcing the importance of sustainable living.
Day 3 – June 29, 2025 (Fundraising Campaign)
Based on the needs observed at Arise and Shine Charitable trust, a fundraising drive was conducted. Students reached out within their communities to gather groceries, essential goods, and monetary support. The campaign created goodwill, built awareness, and provided much-needed resources to the home.
Day 4 – July 6, 2025 (Clothes Collection & Donation)
The final activity was a used clothes collection drive, where clean and usable clothing was collected, sorted, and donated to the home. The smiles and gratitude of the residents highlighted how even simple acts of giving can make a meaningful difference.
