Amhiti
"Amhiti: Where Hope Found a Helping Hand"
This event was designed to bring the Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering together every year for three days to collect essential items and donations which include bedsheets, toiletries, packed food, stationery, clothes, school supplies, toys, pet food, sports equipment, and more, to extend a helping hand to those facing challenging circumstances and offer them a glimmer of hope for a brighter future. Amhiti as an event was a living example of this: Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give. An event like this reinstates our belief that when we come together as a community, we can create positive change. Even the smallest of contributions will make a difference in the lives of those in need and bring joy to their lives.
