Suggestions:-

• Having watched some video of the activities being done in the campuses, Mrs.Varalika suggested to get the video downloaded on youtube and try to get them liked by all the students and the staffs of all the branches of CMS. As a result these likes can help us to earn money and that can be utilized for the environmental activities. She also requested to get this thing done by next meeting.
• On the basis of discussion of the environmental disasters ,Professor Geeta Gandhi Kingdon suggested to have a chart of life expectancy rate of all countries in all the branches to create awareness.
• Professor Geeta Gandhi Kingdon also suggested about the wastage that is being piled up at every place, that if all the students talk to the local inhabitants about not to pile up the litterings here and there, then it can be a big project.

Mrs Farida Vahedi also suggested that 4th Saturday, afternoon will be given for activities for JY and animators. Non-animators also can take part in the environmental activities.
