As many colleges and schools around the city keep Eco-friendly Ganesha as their theme, the school not only follows that but also wanted to take a step further, by donating the study stationary to underprivileged children, which will be offered as offerings.

Sanjeev Mantri, chairman of Vidyanidhi Educational Complex, Juhu, said, "With the inflation, the sweets have seen a steep rise. And also to meet the rush of the festival it is found that they use adulterated material to prepare it. Hence we thought lets start something that will benefit needy children. So we have decided to take up this social cause to create aware among the start a campaign this year. We have asked to spread a word to offer notebooks, pen or pencil in offering that we can donate to needy children. One can donate one pencil or one notebook or as much as they want in offering."

Echoing the sentiments of Mantri, principal of school and junior college, Priyanka Rajani, said, "Every year our ex-students visit our college during the festival. They will help us pread the word about our campaign through social media. We will also put the posters across the premises explaining the importance of the cause. This week while sending invites to parents we will mention about our initiative to them. Also, during the assembly prayer meet we have been regularly telling our students to participate in this cause.
