Karnataka - Bangalore   

For a noble cause

WHILE MANY other NCC cadets are on biking and mountain climbing expeditions around the country, these cadets of Sri Bahgwan Mahaveer Jain College decided to do something good closer home. Twelve NCC cadets of 2A/5 Coy Kar.Bn. of the college spent last week canvassing people to pledge their eyes. While many students and staff responded, there were also people from outside the college who agreed to pledge their eyes.
