COPA 2009

Its barely been a week into the new term but the buzz is back here at IMNU.After getting the end term marks the "shaken and stirred"(pun inteneded) students have more or less settled down and are ready for a new innings.New term,new subjects....its a start from the scratch again!!!

Meanwhile...one of the premiere football tournaments "COPA" which had been postponed due to rains last month saw the finals being played today...Two of the best football teams of IMNU the CZARS clashed against the PIRATES.
Czars defeated the Stallions to reach the finals.Pirates on the other hand defaeted Phoneix on their road to the finals.The final match was a closely contested one as both the teams held their nerves till full-time without letting the other team score a goal.This led to penalty shootouts wherin the Pirates scored four out of four shots and the Czars could only convert two goals out of the four shots.
Thus PIRATES were crowned the COPA 2009 CHAMPIONS....first time in the history of IMNU the same section,PIRATES have won the first two major sports tournaments of the year SLAMDUNK and COPA....
With this the PIRATES have established themselves as strong contenders for the NIRMA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE(NCL)...they are team to watch out for!!!

DONATE BLOOD

Donating blood is like extending a helping hand to someone who is in dire need of his life. As they say ‘Raktadan – Jeevandan’ .

We can save someone’s life by simply donating our blood, which is completely harmless to us. Our blood gets replaced itself in a period of 3 months, so we can donate 1 unit of blood every 3 months.

To help those who need blood to sustain or survive, Rotaract Club of Nirma Institute organized a blood donation camp at the instiute campus on 3rd and 4th September.

“Your 1 unit of blood can save someone’s life.” The coordinators appealed to everyone to take part in this venture.
It was in collaboration with the non profit making organisation ,PRATHMA

YUVA-The Sanitation Drive

FUN AND LEARN

Last week saw the yuva coordinators in action again.
A task which was a real need of the times when "Cleanliness begins at home."
Our unstoppables took this present day demand in notice and worked upon it by spreading awareness among such people who do not have any clue about all this.

Mr. Devendra Parekh, from Environmental Sanitation Institute(ESI) was present on the occasion for guiding everyone,the labor workers and the students as well.

GUIDING THEM THROUGH

More than 60 construction workers including women and children were given information and insight about the day to day hygiene. Various experiments were performed to make people realize about the importance of cleanliness.

THE TOKEN FOR SAFAI ANDOLAN

At the end, soaps were distributed to the construction workers as a token to start the "SAFAAI AANDOLAN" in their life.

YUVA was definitely able to bring some awareness among them.
