It is not hidden from us anymore that the regular use of plastic bags is causing immense harm to our environment. IU Newspaper Bag is a reduce plastics campaign. An initiative to convert the Newspapers into bags & provide them to different shopping outlets in the vicinity to encourage them to reduce use of plastic bags.
Objectives:
1. Saving Trees: As it makes use of already printed Newspaper, it avoids making of fresh paper, and avoids cutting of trees. "A tree not cut, is a tree planted". In a world like today, where usage of all resources is so high, avoiding wastage is in itself creating resource.
2. It's another name and direct support to IU Eco-division which wants to mitigate the use of Plastics. It's a second name for the campaign of IU "Reduce Plastics Campaign!"
3. Engaging a large human resource into a simple constructive activity, that impacts society positively, and hence brings in the brotherhood attitudes amongst people. We are sure it would end up inspiring scores of others to think on these lines.
4. Encouraging and setting a new trend of using paper bags and hence serving as an inspiration for people to create taste from waste, on a large scale. A movement which involves the best blood of the world endorsing the idea, executing & promoting it.
5. A greener and a better world for all.

IUYouth2Children proposes to take the awareness about various things to the underprivileged students of the nation! A lot of third world countries have student population who don't go for higher studies and they are deprived of quality education. While the youth who is enjoying quality education is unaware of the opportunity this showcases in front of them to take lead and make a difference.
The objective of this initiative is to ensure the educated youth volunteers take initiative to spend their efforts and time on making the underprivileged students of government schools (in country like India, where a lot of govt schools have low quality education) aware about:
1. Basics of health & hygiene
• Teaching them names of basic medicines
• Making them aware about a small first aid kit
• Teaching them importance of washing hands.
• Teaching them importance of keeping clean surroundings.
• Maintaining hygiene on a daily basis.
• Eating quality food.
