Special Projects
One-off charitable initiatives flood, COVID, sports complex, water access.
Beyond the recurring batch traditions, G9 has stepped up across the years for one-off causes — flood relief, pandemic support, a million-rupee pledge to the College Sports Complex, drinking water for a school, and tube wells for rural communities. Each Special Project is a moment when the batch saw a need and answered it directly.
