"Zaariya – a means to serve the society, to reach out to the needy and the underprivileged is the brainchild of several like-minded NISERites who got together with the aim of bringing about a difference in the world we live in. Spanning over a few weeks there were several activities organized by Zaariya club members.

​

       I remember how a few weeks back the small footpath that led from the main building to the mess was dumped with litter. Every time I crossed that path I couldn’t help but notice plastic cups and wrappers lying all around. It was then that Zaariya volunteers decided to address this issue and undertook the ‘Dustbin initiative’.

 

        There’s nothing that feels better than coming together to help do good and spread happiness. I felt a sense of accomplishment when Zaariya started the drive for collection of clothes for the needy and the way people responded to it and contributed generously. The smile on the faces of the kids in the orphanage made me realize that even a small contribution from a single individual could bring joy in so many lives.

 

It’s heart-warming that Zaariya has become a means to usher in new initiatives to change our world for the better."
