Nasa Day

COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION!

NASA India was established in 1957 has registered with the Societies act on the 13th of September 1993. Every year the 13th of September is celebrated as the NASA India Founding Day. This year the colleges celebrate this day by means of giving back to society and collaboration with one another. It is essentially to remind ourselves of the social roles we play as more than Architects and Designers, as humans of the society we live in. This also gives students an opportunity to take up social projects in their own creative ways for the betterment of our community around us.
