Yash Pandya, Mumbai, Maharashtra
"Guru Nanak College (GNC) has formally adopted the Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar (GTB), a Mumbai suburban railway station on 2nd October, 2015. Students of GNC clean and maintain GTB station. Last year in 2015 the college had organized 9 days Chaka Chak GTB station Mahotsav from 10th October to 19th October, 2015. Students first cleaned the station and later painted the wall of bridges with slogans, moral principles and so on to beautify the wall. Along with this number of programmes were organised. Awareness about HIV, Health, Malaria, Fitness, Women's Rights, Senior Citizens' and Human Rights, Environment conservation, were created through banners, street plays and surveys. Brochures were also distributed and a wall painting drive was also conducted to beautify the platform. We had also organised laughter yoga sessions and a musical program on two days during the Mahotsav. But many people still didn't change their nature and behavior, they continued to spit on the beautified wall. They still don't realise, they aren't spitting on the wall, they are spitting on the faces of students - their efforts of day and night. But we students of GNC haven't lost hope, we are giving them a tough fight. We have again beautified the dirty wall. We are glad to see many daily commuters are appreciating us and some commuters are so generous that they are contributing in our activity by painting the station with us. It really feels great. The Chala Chak GTB will be conducted this year too."
