IEEE AIUB Student Branch Organized Social Work for Water Purifier Installation for the Students of Governmental Primary School
There are several primary schools under the governmental authority across the nation where they are trying to develop the standards of their educational facilities. Some of the main factors that come into consideration are the health and the education qualityof their students.
