Mumbai, 31 January, 2021 (TGN):Republic day marks the day when Indian constitution came into action. Indian constitution talks about both rights and duties.

The students and the team of the institute distribute handmade masks and sanitizers to traffic police people at Navi Mumbai especially Kharghar area.

The masks were especially made by the fashion designing students of the academy in guidance of their faculty members, founder Ms. Neeru Jain and Director Mr. Ayush Jain.

The initiative was considering the fact that it’s because of these heroes that Indian society is safe and developing.

Founder Ms. Neeru Jain expressed her excitement saying, “A country’s future is in hands of its younger generation and it is our duty as teachers to show them the right path and make them not only industry but also socially responsible. This initiative was a small step towards a bigger and a better vision for our country India.”

Mr. Ayush Jain , Director – NSAM,  expressed his enthusiasm saying, “ We at NSAM are on a mission to achieve a bigger goal, we are not bound by just traditional classroom method of teaching rather we want our students to grow individually and thus we keep on conducting such initiatives that not only teaches something to the students rather motivates them to do something for the society.” ENDS
