While environment drives are nothing new to the Capital, this initiative will take the route of cultural festivals and performances and will judge colleges on the basis of their condition vis a vis cleanliness and environment-friendliness.

“When we thought of doing something in the field of environment, we thought why not begin from the campuses and take it forward from there,” said Aaditya Hukku, Director of Uureka events company and the brain behind the project.
