Honors and Recognition:

  • CRC recycling campaign is a project dedicated to raise environmental awareness in the communities. As a Ambassador at CRC since 2015, I have pledged to adopt Adarsha MahaVidyalaya Akola to improve their quality of life with focus on basic needs and influencing them with a power of reading and Empowering teachers and parents for sustainable development.

  • I am firm believer of leadership through service and have seen my self evolve since 2015. I have rich passion for sustainable development and reading empowerment and feel fortunate to be part of CRC team.During summer, as a part of the project, I planned one-on-one session with teachers, administrators and parents. And then we discussed it with about 700 students.

  • Adopt a school project was planned to raise funds and disbursed those funds according to immediate needs. Right now I am focusing on how to get grants from government and local donors and businesses to have an advanced digital library and water filter system .This project has a special place in my heart, since there are more schools out there and are in desperate need.

  • I am currently researching a case study into Akola, Maharashtra in special regard to sustainable agriculture and its ecological/economic effects for my current capstone. I seek to produce both mental and quantifiable gains out of this project, as I am primarily geared towards the concepts of sustainable management of resources along with ecological restoration in my potential undergraduate options.

    13. E-Waste: Dark Side of Digital Age >> These days, it's often cheaper and more convenient to buy a new PC than to upgrade an old one. But what happens to those old computers once they've been abandoned for newer models? The refuse from discarded electronics products, also known as e-waste, often ends up in landfills or incinerators instead of being recycled. And that means toxic substances like lead, cadmium and mercury that are commonly used in these products can contaminate the land, water and air.
