He was speaking at the recent programme organised by Youth Red Cross Unit, National Service Scheme (NSS) and Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at TTL College of Commerce and Business Management, at Saraswathipuram in city to inaugurate cement water tank and hanging water pots to quench the thirst of birds and animals.
