The students planned and executed the community service task in the nearby village which included awareness on waste management, first aid, teaching the students of a Zilla Parishad school, setting up a library and painting the school courtyard.
The students were graded on various criteria and those who did exceptionally well were tagged as the 'Youreka Champs'.
