The GJIMT National Cadet Corps (NCC) organised an Electronic Gadgets Donation Drive at its adopted village, Jagatpura, under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA), an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti. The initiative reflected Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of self-reliant and empowered rural communities while promoting digital inclusion, sustainable practices and community development.

As part of the drive, refurbished laptops, tablets, smartphones and other electronic peripherals were provided to children, school students and youth who required digital resources for education, online learning and skill development. The initiative aimed to help bridge the digital divide and improve access to educational and technological opportunities in the rural community.

The drive also highlighted the importance of responsible e-waste management, reuse and recycling of electronic devices. Residents were sensitised about proper disposal of electronic waste and the environmental hazards associated with improper handling.
