Planet Earth has been a provider for habitants since its creation. Unfortunately, detrimental practices of human beings have damaged the planet and its atmosphere in all ways. We need to take initiatives for protection and conservation of the atmosphere. NUMS emphasizes the importance of environmentally friendly activities being carried out either inside or outside the campus. NUMS Environment committee is actively working for the improvement of solid waste management in the campus. Under the Prime Minister’s youth program, HEC Led initiative of GYM clubs across country, NUMS has its Green Youth Movement club functioning to its fullest potential. The student body of the GYM Club consisting of Captain, Vice-Captain, two thematic leads and a communication lead make it sure that the management of solid waste is done appropriately in the campus. Moreover, they often carry out awareness programs for the upcoming student batches and encourage them to take part in the activities carried out by the NUMS Gym club.
