A day-long event on the theme "Sustainable Innovation" was organised keeping in mind the need of the hour to promote and adapt environment-friendly products in our lifestyle.

A leadership talk on the theme followed by a workshop on "Design Thinking and Creative Thinking" helped foster innovative but pro-green ideas among students of

SNU.
