Sustainable Plastic Bucket Reusability

The team had run a campaign to collect reusable plastic materials from our seniors at TAPMI. We were able to collect 350 buckets, 150 mugs, 250 dustbins. These items were thoroughly cleaned and refurbished. We offered these items for free to the students of Batch 2019-21.

Computer Certification Program

Oct 2018 - Present

SEG has designed a computer certification program for students of class 4th and 5th at the Academy Primary School, Manipal. The sole objective is to bridge the gap between the haves and have nots by tapping the potential of these enthusiastic kids. The idea is to get them acquainted with the basics of computers since it is the most important and indispensable skill required in today’s time. The topics covered range right from the very basic introduction of input and output devices to fundamental applications of MS-Office.

Life Skills Project

Jul 2018 - Present

The project is aimed at building the next generation leaders. Fostering skills, that are essential to meet challenges of everyday life, at early stage of life will pay dividends in the years to come. This project helps teenagers (13-18yrs) realize their potential and exposes them to better opportunities by encouraging and building their self-confidence. These skills are imparted through various fun activities and games. This project is done at CSI Boys boarding school, Udupi, for the students…

Vastra Vitaran

Mar 2018 - Present

We at SEG believe that there are many reasons why donating clothing to others is a significant action. When you give people access to clothes, you give them more than just protection from the cold. You give them ability to socialize, express themselves, and feel dignified. With the help of the TAPMI fraternity and in collaboration with Asare Trust (training and rehabilitation centre for the specially-abled), Christ Church and Gandhi Hospital we carried out this event.

Others include: Plastic Waste Management (Jul 2016 – Present) &  Solid Waste Management (Jul 2016 – Present)
