Impact

Introduction

This Saarang is not just about the best bands and the best talent. Its also about getting back in touch with our basic humanitarian nature, seeing a smile on a child's face.

Saarang Impact, an action oriented endeavour, plans to give back to society through collection drives, campaigns and awareness camps. By tying up with various NGOs and social institutions, we wish to create opportunities for social awareness targeted at today's youth. Reaching out to underprivileged children, creating a platform for NGOs to interact with youth and many such initiatives are on track.

Join hands with us this Saarang as we celebrate and spread joy by promoting a social cause. Create an Impact!
