With an aim of spreading the message of “If we can, why not you?”, children with ‘special needs’ from of MBCN along with the students of the Genesis Global School stepped out on the roads to sweep the areas in Noida. Over 100 students took part in the cleanliness drive in three sectors of Noida.

Applauding the efforts of children, the chief guest said, “I really appreciate the enthusiasm that these children have shown towards the cleanliness drive. We should move forward with the oath to keep our surrounding clean and the whole world should see that India is a clean country.”

It is a requisite to a clean and healthy environment and well-being of society. This drive is an indication that these children with special needs are equally concerned about the city.”
