initiatives
Not only did we increase awareness about our organisation and the cause it espouses, we gave many enthusiastic students an opportunity to discover their hidden talents, have fun and achieve something substantial doing tie-ups with committed organizations. Hence, we managed to create valuable opportunities for the youth to to contribute in their own special way to Doon. GREEN CAMPAIGN: It all started when, one morning, curious about the kind of response hed get, Yudhishter decided to do a small campaign which involved school students and teachers. On 5th Dec 2009, which is also International Volunteer Day, icare asked the school community to step up to the occasion and express, in any form, their support for the global cause. At the end of the day, the students, in large numbers numbers produced many valuable slogans, posters and articles. GREEN EXHIBITION: Our next initiative was to organize an exhibition to showcase the creative talents of students. We invited a number of guests to the exhibition who witnessed a number of unique creations. The students were thrilled by the appreciation.
INITIATIVES
The Dehradun Chapter of the Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning (ISHRAE) in association with its partner iCare conducted a seminar on the Recent trends in Energy Conservation. It was a proud moment for icare and ISHRAE as a memorandum of understanding (MoE) was signed between the two organizations to promote environmental awareness amongst the students of the Valley. The event was presided over by former Ambassador to Canada and other countries, Dr. Rakesh Shankar.
