PAHEL, People for Advocacy of Health, Environment & Literacy- the CSR Club of IMT Hyderabad welcomes you to celebrate the success of one of the ventures taken up by us at IMT,HYDERABAD Firstly, A brief description of PAHEL: The purpose of the club is to strengthen network and linkages amongst students, the community, socially responsible corporate, NGOs and other formal and informal institutions. The club has its focus on health, education and hygiene as the primary vehicles for building capabilities and expanding the available opportunities for development. Today,we are here to celebrate the national nutrition week which was held in IMT Hyderabad during 1 st -7 th September 2014. On account of national nutrition week, we the PAHEL Club have initiated the Rice Bucket Challenge wherein the nominated students donated rice for the benefit of those in need. The Rice Bucket Challenge is the innovative idea of Hyderabad-based Ms.Manju Latha Kalanidhi who posted the challenge, seeking her friends to donate a bucketful of rice and feed the poor in the locality. In her own words - Its local, desi and a practical solution to issues in the vicinity. Instead of wasting water on ice bucket challenge, save water and feed the hungry. What started as a small exercise on Face book amongst friends has made us reach today to this stage where we are celebrating the generous donation of a total of [ ] kgs of rice by the students of IMT Hyderabad, which the PAHEL club will be donating to three NGOs today.
