SRMIST Conducts Potheri Lake Cleaning Drive Under the Swachh Bharat Mission

22 November 2025, Saturday – Kattankulathur<o:p></o:p>

SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) successfully organized a
Potheri Lake Cleaning Drive on 22 November 2025 (Saturday) at 3:00 PM,
as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission. The initiative focused on cleaning
and rejuvenating the lake pathway adjacent to Potheri Lake, located near the
opposite side of the SRM Arch Gate, with the aim of promoting a cleaner,
healthier environment for the community.<o:p></o:p>

Collective Effort for a Cleaner Campus<o:p></o:p>

The event saw enthusiastic participation from students, faculty
members, and staff, who worked hand-in-hand to clean the entire stretch of
the lake pathway. Their collective efforts led to the removal of approximately:<o:p></o:p>

<ul type="disc">
 <li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">250 kg of trash<o:p></o:p></li>
 <li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">1350 kg of
 horticulture waste<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>

This resulted in a remarkably cleaner and more inviting lake
environment, benefiting both the campus community and daily commuters.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6reO-_Zz27fCkr2VkQQI7oJFXcwL1Do0kK2VoEG1eeCYe1-DFjEhJHG7Et_YiLRJFw-a1Zp7HwtbjZ-G4dRt-uoRr1TaYb9EyvGfM3jCKDrwYPW8XfA3JHehRZh1jgjtcjvGR5LRqBmJQmUd9X1pQcCsVc8Ce1Pngu6DOLeBVq3GK629FjRhn-hNXzr8/s1600/587008330_25978526211750708_1592996672213270792_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6reO-_Zz27fCkr2VkQQI7oJFXcwL1Do0kK2VoEG1eeCYe1-DFjEhJHG7Et_YiLRJFw-a1Zp7HwtbjZ-G4dRt-uoRr1TaYb9EyvGfM3jCKDrwYPW8XfA3JHehRZh1jgjtcjvGR5LRqBmJQmUd9X1pQcCsVc8Ce1Pngu6DOLeBVq3GK629FjRhn-hNXzr8/w640-h480/587008330_25978526211750708_1592996672213270792_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <o:p></o:p>
