Enactus CVS has taken up 6 projects to date, of which 3 have been successfully sustained and 3 are continuing. The continuing three projects are Project Ikhtiraa, Project Abyaan and Project Ehtiyaat.
Project Ikhtiraa
​Project Ikhtiraa aims to minimize the consumption of microplastics by replacing the paper plastic material used in teabags with Muslin cloth while empowering underprivileged communities and providing them with a steady source of income.
Project Abyaan
Project Abyaan aims to address the conundrum of untreated Used Cooking Oil's (UCO) disposal into water bodies which induces problems like
Aquatic Hypoxia. Through its minimally priced soaps, manufactured by underprivileged women communities, Abyaan aims to address the issue of affordability and accessibility relating to health and hygiene.
Project Ehtiyaat
Project Ehtiyaat, a collaboration between Enactus CVS and Enactus SGTB Khalsa, upcycles single-use plastic waste into plarn, reviving traditional craftsmanship and supporting artists. This initiative aims to reduce plastic pollution and empower handloom communities with financial independence.
