The college provides fruit-bearing tree saplings free of cost
The climate change mitigation program âMajhi Vasundhra', aimed at encouraging individuals to make a positive impact on the environment, has now been adopted by Powai-based Bunts Sangha's SM Shetty College.
The program was recently launched by Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray.
The college has been a forerunner in the field of environmental protection. It was recently in the news for starting a nationwide âeco-brick' campaign and now it has taken the onus of being a nodal point for Majhi Vasundhara program.
The college, in association with Mission Green Mumbai, provides fruit-bearing tree saplings free of cost.

These fruit tree saplings can be taken from the college campus in Hiranandani Powai from 8 am - 5 pm daily. Individuals can take 2 saplings each and housing societies can take more by submitting a letter from the society.
