Special Initiative: Weeks of service
As we embark on a new year of service, we are excited to introduce our Service Focus Weeks for 2025-2026. These weeks are designed to create a global impact by concentrating our efforts on specific causes. By aligning our service activities, we can amplify our impact and visibility, showing the world the power of collective action.
Service Focus Weeks

E-waste Collection Drive as a part of World Wide Week of Environment
As an observance of Global Week of Service - Environment our club focused on E-WASTE disposal and recycling. Partnering with Sankhali municipality we initiated E-waste collection drive from door to door in Sankhali municipal jurisdiction from 18th to 26th of April 2026. We urged people to give away their E-waste waste material through various social media. Apart from other environmental dangers E-waste is also considered as toxic to nature. It releases heavy metals into soil and water thereby endangering our environment. This makes recycling of E-waste waste essentia.
