oakridge cyclone relief activity
Team Oakridge as the first step, to support the
needy with food and water, initiated the Rice Bucket Challenge across its
Hyderabad and other campuses. In a matter of 48 hours, the campuses collected
16 tons of rice. Rice along with 7,000 liters of drinking water and 15,000
biscuit packets were sent to the city on a war footing basis. Students and
Teachers of Oakridge took part in the distribution drive across the city.
Oakridge Vizag also adopted 4 villages near the
Tagarapuvalsa campus and provided multiple tanks of water and food packets.
The other timely action for the cause, taken by
Oakridge, which was much applauded, was to announce Cracker-Free Diwali in the
city of Vizag and around. The initiative was taken to avoid any possible fire
accidents because of crackers, as the city was full of dry leaves and debris
left by the cyclone. Oakridge drove this activity through Radio and Social
media.
Above all, with a long term mission to restore
the Green in Vizag, Oakridge has started a plantation drive in the city and has
started distributing 1,00,000 (one lakh) plant saplings. Hon. Minister of Education,
Mr. Ghanta Srinivas has launched this drive by Oakridge.
SPORTS & FITNESS
The students enjoy their leisure time more while playing sports. Sports loosen the limbs and relax the entire body system of students so that they are again well - prepared to study with more concentration and dedication. Sports provide food for mind in the same way as learning provides knowledge.
