Indira Global School of Business

Indira Group of Institutes has always made an attempt for a holistic community outreach. IGSB and ICEM started an initiative called #SpreadingSmiles in the year 2017.

Sustainability is no longer a buzz word but a way of living. While our own health, essential needs, and family care arrangements are top of mind, taking responsibility in an economical, ecological and social sense through our involvement in protecting the environment and conserving resources is paramount. Spreading Smiles 2021 is focusing on the sustainability and conservation of the surroundings. Participation can be through:

Reduce Waste
Preserve Water
Go Local [For eg: Source, use and promote local products by farmers, artisans]
Clean-Up Drives [For eg:Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter. It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution]
Skill based Micro Volunteering opportunity [Help and volunteer for any NGO working for the environment and sustainability]
Awareness Campaigns for Sanitation and Hygiene
