As part of the “Palle Prakruthi Vanam Beautification Programme,” volunteers cleaned bushes, removed unnecessary tree branches, and beautified the village garden, making it more appealing and eco-friendly. In addition, Clean and Green activities were carried out at the ZPHS school and Primary school, where bushes were cleared and the premises were tidied up, enefiting schoolchildren and the community alike.
The selfless work of the NSS volunteers amazed the youth and elders of the village, while the Village Panchayat Secretary E. Raju and Panchayat staff extended their wholehearted support to the camp activities.
