Today, the Dwarka campus of IP University saw the inauguration of the public campaign ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,’ aimed at promoting tree plantation. The initiative, launched under the guidance of the university’s NSS and NCC cells, witnessed the participation of approximately 500 students and staff members.
