This was done through spreading awareness on menstruation related issues and safe sanitation practices in the community. Training was given to college students to take sessions in the neighboring slums with women and girls. The community was also sensitised on the benefits and importance of using toilets and also provided information on making use of government schemes to construct toilets at their homes. 6. Project Creating Auxiliary Nesting Habitat for Birds around the College Campus: The objective of the project is to create auxiliary nesting habitats for birds around the college campus. This was done through educating students on the role and importance of birds in the environment. Awareness generation was undertaken about the loss of habitat of birds in Delhi and NCR region and the students were encouraged to learn about the flora and fauna on the campus. Bird houses, which were using sustainable materials, were placed around the campus as auxiliary nesting sites to help in attracting various bird species from around the area. In addition to this, LEADearthSHIP went beyond the confines of text-based and a linear training process into versatile grounds of education, integrating internet and social media to channelize the potential of the youth. LEADearthSHIP already has a thriving presence on social media. However, to target youth in a more systematic and structured manner, a microsite is being developed devoted exclusively to the project. Online Activities: A Facebook page (https:// www.facebook.com/pages/LEADearthSHIP) and LEADearthSHIP blog allowing students to interact, express, study, ideate, relax, innovate, learn, network and channelize their potential has been created. Output • Ten sustainability projects were designed and implemented by the LEADearth Fellows. • A national level conference (YUVA Meet) with 250 youth from India and abroad was conducted. • 15 Campus Impact campaigns were implemented with an exclusive microsite dedicated to the project. • Through LEADearth Fellowship, TERI has been able to achieve a direct outreach of over 20,000 participants; and an indirect outreach of over 100,000. • In future, TERI may expand the programme nationally, to create a chain of green colleges and thus expanding the concept of green footprint among the student fraternity. • Through this programme, linkages between global values, leadership, initiatives and more were created.
