        With the help of the wardens of these hostels this awareness drive was a success this time too. With their support, the volunteers of the Legal Aid Clinic were able to once again interact with the students, mess workers and other staff and not only aware them of their rights and duties but were also successful in taking up the issues faced by them and resolve them under the guidance of our teachers and the wardens of the hostels.
