EAST West University Environmental and social Club was founded in September, 1999 with the vision to 'save life, save earth' through different environmental and social activities. The moderator of the club is Dr. S. S. M. Sadrul Huda, Assistant Professor, of Business Administration. The club executive committee is constituted with five members.
The club invites general students to join it on a regular basis throughout the year. It tries to create awareness through social works. At present, the club maintains several projects. The first club activity is 'Poruader Ashor' which was established in 2012. Now it is divided into two parts. One section teaches children and another part teaches old people. Several students of this school now are enrolled in formal educational institutes and one of the students of the school also passed the JSC examination in 2016. It is a great success for this club.
The second activity is 'Gach Bondhu'. In every semester, a 3-day long tree fair is arranged on the campus. Recently it arranged a day-long rooftop gardening training programme for 120 students in cooperation with Horticulture Centre. They received training on rooftop gardening, urban tree plantation and interior tree plantation. Recently, they arranged a 'Pushpo Mala' in East West University.
The third activity is 'Mindgym' which started in June, 2014. Its main work is to redress mental worries of the students. It launched online counseling in January 2015 through its Facebook page and Facebook group.
The fourth activity is 'Green Riders' with an aim to promote environment friendly and healthy transport practice for urban population. The fifth activity is 'Good News' which is an online platform for sharing students' achievements, activities and aspirations. It publicises student activities through FB group, wall paper and print magazines.
The last one is 'Save Environment. Save Food. Save Life". The primary goal of this programme is to create awareness about healthy management of lifestyle, healthy food and diet control, physical fitness, stress control and so on. And many more works are done by East West Environmental and Social Club.
