Cloth Collection for Children, Independence Day Celebration



One unit of NSS, working in a very backward village in our neighborhood, is overwhelmed by the situation on ground there. The group within the unit who are supposed to work with villlge kids has placed a request. They find it difficult to engage with children who do not have anything worthwhile to wear. NSS, IIT Kharagpur will launch its mass cloth collection drive for distribution among the needy as soon as the rainy season is over. We have a problem of storage and distribution in rainy season. The current campaign is a focused drive to collect used, wearable clothes from campus community for children in the age group of 4-10 years. If you have anything to contribute, please fill-up this form. The student volunteers of the specific unit will try to collect the clothes from your residence at a time of your choice. For any clarification, please contact Prof. Srabani Taraphder, Program Officer of the specific unit or Prof. Goutam Saha, Program Coordinator, NSS, IIT Kharagpur. The following registration link may please be used to streamline the collection process.



Thanks to the support from the institute, the NSS, IIT Kharagpur team is strengthened by joining of three more program officers. We now have 15 units headed by 15 program officers. Each unit catering to 1 or 2 village / slum in the neighborhood.
