Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) students from the International and Alumni Relations body are conducting ‘Sawera’, a socio-awareness fest, on 4th and 5th November 2023 to celebrate happiness, according to the release.
Institute claims that it will organise various events both inside the campus and in other locations in Chennai by the students. These include a Donation drive in which IIT Madras students will make donations to families from disadvantaged families living in slums in Chennai, as mentioned in the release.
