Two days ago, July Batch Leadership Program students took the initiative to clean and make improvements to the Old Bus Stand in Hubli.  Excited by their success, the students expanded their initiative.  Today, June and July Leadership Program students cleaned the Old Bus Stand in Dharwad.


Students cleaned up the entire bus stand by removing trash and painting walls and surfaces.  The students worked together continuously throughout the day. In addition to cleaning the bus stand, the students approached all of the local stores and encouraged the store owners to speak up to people who spit.  The students also collected signed letters from each of the Depot Managers, in which the Depot Managers promised to keep the bus stand clean and provide dust bins.
Participating students included Naveen, Medha, and Chandan  from BVBCET; Suveena and Rachana from SDMCET; Asha and Anushree from SKSVMACET; Shivshankar from GMIT; Vajrararjun from Kittle College; and Akshay from Halyal College.



These students' initiative will make a positive difference for the hundreds of people who use the Old Bus Stand in Dharwad every day.  Furthermore, these students have created an awareness among the people about the importance of maintaining cleanliness in public spaces.
