We thank the management of college, Prof. Dilip Shah for their constant support to conduct the entire project without any hassle. We also thank all the students and faculty members who came forward for this noble cause. Due to COVID safety protocols we could not take too many volunteers. Taking all the precautions, three students Harshita Joshi, Pragra Rakesha and Muskan Das visited the old age home. We appreciate their courage and commitment to serve the society.
It was our little effort to reflect the true motto of NSS “Not Me But You”.
