They will be joined by a younger brigade of seasoned EFI vols such as Keerthana Sampathkumar, Ravinaa Jayakumar, Sharun and Kevin. The responsibilities of this committee ranges from organizing a full fledged restoration work at the Lake comprising of:

1. Volunteer initiated Lake Clean Ups twice a month. Every 2nd and 4th Sundays.

2. Debate/Quiz at the lake once a month

3. Herbal garden plantation once a month on the lake bund
