As the nation celebrated its 61st year of Independence and the coming home of the shooting gold in full fervor and gaiety, the MADF team at IMT Ghaziabad took this oppurtunity and set about trying to make a difference to the lives of a few people in and around the city again.
The clothes distribution initiative last year was a huge success in terms of the response that we got at the turnout and also in terms of the number of clothes collected which stood at 120+. The clothes collection drive this year however witnessed an overwhelming generosity by the students again and the collected clothes stood at a record 300+, double the number last year. The clothes donated ranged from T-Shirts to denims to trousers with a good amount of ladies wear and winter wears including, sweaters jackets, blankets and bed sheets. Here, MADF would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people for their magnanimity in donating useful pieces of clothing in such good and useable conditions.
A group of MADF members visited the nearby area including the railway and bus stations in order to inform and generate awareness about the initiative, its venue and time. We at MADF consciously and discreetly chose Rickshawalas and not beggars keeping in mind our motive of empowering people and not charity or donation. As we spoke to some of the rickshaw pullers we realized that for a mere amount of 5-10 rupees, they put in physical effort way beyond our imagination and toil from dawn to dusk to earn a respectful living. Through our meager contribution we sincerely hope to be able chip in and supplement their lives in our own modest ways.

A team of volunteers (Mrinal, Chandan, Sunny, Abhishek, Sankshep, Sankha, Rohan, Anuj, Rakesh, Chetan, Srikanth, Manish, Pinky, Varun and Meghna) organized the event in front of the IMT main gate that began in the morning after the flag hoisting ceremony and the cultural programme arranged in the college in commemoration of Independence Day.
Our Director Mr. B.S Sahay graced the occasion, Mr. S.K Singh was also present for the event and they handed out clothes to the people present, who received the clothes with utmost gratitude. MADF members then took over and the distribution was accomplished. MADF would also like to thank Mr. B.S Sahay and Mr. S.K Singh for their valuable time to this humble initiative.
With these little steps, we at MADF sincerely hope that we can make modest beginnings and eventual transformations. Our clothes distribution initiative was another of our little steps in the direction of empowerment.
