Enactus, formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), is an international non-profit organization present in 39 countries around the world, with over 67,000 students as active members. Enactus brings together a diverse network of university students, academic professionals, and industry leaders around the shared mission of creating a better and more sustainable world. Since its inception in 2007, Enactus SRCC has undertaken several community outreach projects as part of this shared mission. Of the 16 projects to date, 13 have been successfully completed, and three are ongoing. Our running projects are 'Leher', ‘Virasat’ and 'Amal'.
Leher means a wave of change. We at Project Leher aim to create a cigarette-waste-free environment. Cigarette butts are made up of cellulose acetate, a.k.a. plastic. It is the highest pollutant in the ocean. We collect and upcycle cigarette butts to establish a sustainable end-to-end solution to the problem that threatens the environment of our world.
Project Virasat is an umbrella organization that aims to revive the age-old craft forms of India and support the artisans involved in them. At present, we are reviving two craft forms, Gaurahari stonework and Usta art, by mobilizing artisans and providing them access to organized credit, contemporary designs, and better demand avenues.
Project Amal is an initiative to uplift the farmer community by utilising the stubble waste and converting it into value. We create additional income sources for farmers while ensuring the sustainability of the environment through the substitution of non-renewable energy sources.
