Testimonials

Uttaranchal University

I've known waste warriors for quite a long time. I'm excited to be a part of it, and I'm looking forward to having a good time as well as learning. Learnings: I've learned a lot, such as how one of our mistakes ruined our ecosystem, and we are paying the price in the form of diseases and natural disasters, as we are witnessing in today's globe. I'd love to be involved with this project.

Graphic Era University

It was truly great; it was my first time engaging in something like this; our seniors had previously engaged with waste warriors, such as at Gurukul or Harrawala, but this was our first event. Learnings: We have acquired so much from the event, we had our methods and ideas, and now we are aiming to improve our ideas after listening to different opinions.

IMS College

It was a very nice experience; we planned many events, one of which was about waste; this is a platform where we can include our vision; we're delighted it's a month-long initiative, not just a day. It provides us with numerous opportunities, such as club activities. It may be a setback for us since we will learn where we are lacking. We are thrilled to be a part of this project.
