You might have seen trucks driving through neighborhoods or containers set up in shopping center and/or parking lots to collect old clothes. There is lot of importance associated to donating clothes versus simply throwing them away. The best types of clothes to donate are ones that aren’t damaged; they are simply items you haven’t worn in months, years or so. You can put them to better use than as closet fixtures.

The Globe Club of Uttaranchal University has been successfully organizing the donation drive of leftover, extra surplus clothes with students, faculty and staff members with the name “EK KAPDA DAAN”. Under this pennant each and everyone contributes at least one cloth (in the form of shirts/trousers/socks/jackets/saaris/suits/baby dresses/ bed sheets/blankets and many more). For the smooth functioning and effective implementation Uttaranchal University has signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Youth Wing of Shri Nityanand Swami Jan Seva Samity, Dehradun.
