Plastic pollution is a huge environment and health issues as it harms us in more than one way such as it clogs drains, causes visual pollution and proves fatal for stray animals. On the occassion of Gandhi Jayanti, the students and teachers of SMIT in collaboration with the Dadati and NSS club with “Swachhata Hi Sewa” campaign collected plastic wastes in the SMIT campus and encouraged the students regarding awareness and action for the protection of our environment from plastic pollution.

The Plastic Free Cleanliness Drive began on 2nd October 2019 with the “Awareness Campaign and Door to door Hostel Collection of Plastic Waste” at diverse areas of the campus. The students were divided into groups and went to different sections of SMIT in order to collect the plastic wastes, the target locations being teachers' quarter, Marena, Boys and girls hostel and canteen. Teachers and students participated in great numbers and made this campaign a big success.

The social welfare clubs along with the students of SMIT has always tried to bring about the best in everyone and everything, be it cleanliness or education and we as a proud SMITian will keep working for the larger goal of humanity.

As a mother protects her baby by nurturing, feeding and fulfilling every requirement of her child, in the same manner our mother nature protects us, feeds us and gives us a proper place to live but in return what are we giving to our environment? It is our responsibility to respect, protect and give honour to our mothers as well as our mother nature.
On 5th June that is on the occasion of World Environment Day, the National Service Scheme, SMIT team showed great gesture to protect our environment by organising a tree plantation drive where the faculty members participated in great numbers. The program was held by the support and blessings of Dr. Ashis Sharma, Director SMIT. The drive began at 8:30 am by Dr. B.B. Pradhan, Associate Director academics followed by Dr. Ratika Pradhan, Associate Director SA planting guava saplings around the campus of SMIT. Chief Warden, HODs, HOOs and faculty members of all the departments joined hands to make this event a great success. 35 guava saplings were planted in order to keep the future perspective in mind of making Guava Garden.

It's not just about a symbolic one tree planting; as the youths of nation, it’s time that we realize the importance of our mother nature and for that we all have to take a vow to plant trees in great extent क्योंकि पर्यावरण बचे, तो प्राण बचे ।।

An old age home is a place where despite the lack of the care of loved ones, the aged people get together and form a family of their own. All necessities are looked after, and outsiders find solace in one another. The sceneries of closeness and liveliness with a tinge of innocent charm are what makes old age homes a living example of the fact that no matter how much a person ages; the spirit and enthusiasm of their youth are still intact deep inside the heart.
On the bright morning of 20th January, a group of 10 students of the Dadati club of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology along with the teacher coordinator Mrs. Jhuma Sunuwar paid a visit to the Lee Aal Old Age Home. The aforementioned old age home is based in Tintek and is headed by Mrs. Passankit Lepcha. No stones were left unturned in contributing to the old age home as various essential articles - clothes, blankets and food items, to mention a few, were collected beforehand by the members of the Dadati club and were distributed to a total of 15 elderly people. Moreover, the students arranged breakfast for them as they served Dosa accompanied by Sambar.
The generous gestures and efforts of the students were well received by the members of the Lee Aal Old Age Home and they motivated the students to keep on working for the larger goal of humanity.

Fashion Show - The Lambent Night

7th November 2018, the Diwali evening of SMIT created an entrancing aura all around. The evening was filled with lights and charm. The theme of the fashion show was 'Ethnic Wear'. Clad in the exemplary colourful attires, the participants walked with full confidence and each walk was in perfect synchronization with the music. The costumes were perfectly mingled with the vivid atmosphere and the entire show consisted of boys' and girls' solo walk and couple walk followed by the coordinators' walk. The crowd admired the show and applauded immensely. Needless to say, the fashion show easily grabbed the privilege of being the evening's show stopper.
