Sept 3-4: Mumbai : Eco Friendly Ganesha Idol Exhibition

LIFE@SPJIMR (Lasting Initiative for Environment) is a student initiative at S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research to create awareness on environmental issues.  

As part of our activities, we had organized an inter school / college competition of making Environment Friendly Ganesha Idols. The competing idols were displayed in an exhibition for the public. The idea was to bring awareness amongst children about things which are bio degradable and also to inform people at large of the various easy and simple ways of making Eco friendly Ganesha idols ahead of the popular festival.

  • 2 colleges (Bhavan’s Campus)
  • 225 + innovative ways of making eco friendly Ganesha idols
  • 400 + participants
  • Over 1000 public viewers across two days
