It may be mentioned here that the CMC Sisters who are in the North East for the past 53 years have seen the slow but steady rise of many pollutants used in the day to day lifestyle of its denizens and are committed to contributing something toward uplifting the people. The cloth bag project is an undertaking wherein cloth bags are stitched and used in place of plastic bags. Through this project, the members intend to give awareness to communities and societies of the need to live in a plastic free environment.
