WORK WITH COMMUNITY

society, through various community service projects all through the session. The learners by
participating in these community service projects realize that they gain a greater understanding of
their roles in the community, as well as the impact of their contributions towards those in need of
service along with insightful experience in varied areas. This also helps them in forming a more
solidified view of self and purpose. The skills and knowledge imbibed while working with the
community are of immense use in future areas of work and increases their social connectivity.
The following four community service projects were taken up from January to March’2013 in the
local area by the students of the college. The students conducted street plays, awareness marches,
door to door campaigns, collaborated with teachers of local schools and nutritionists to carry out
these activities.
MID DAY MEALS
The students of the college went to Chetram Kanya Girls Inter College, Sadarpur with the main
objective to ascertain the nutritional and health status of school children, who consumed mid day
meals. It was found that the school provided hot cooked nutritional meals to the primary and upper
primary classes, especially to the girls of the weaker disadvantaged sections of the society. To
encourage the girls to attend the school more regularly and help them focus on their studies. The
learners of the college went to the neighboring areas to motivate the people to send their girls to the
school. This project helped increase the attendance, especially of girls in the above school.
SAY NO TO ALCHOL
The project was carried in the local area. As the area is a village so males of the family are persistent
alcohol takers. To motivate them to abstain from alcohol, street plays were organized showing the ill
effects of alcohol. This was followed by a door to door campaign to further strengthen the desired
message.
SAY NO TO POLYTHENE BAGS
The college is located in the village, its drains are choked with polythene and during the monsoon
these drains are clogged and the roads are water logged. The open spaces outside the village are
cluttered with discarded polythene bags. To create awareness about the harmful effects of polythene
bags on the environment, students of the college staged street play showing that the land gets littered
by plastic bag and garbage, apart from making the surroundings ugly, increases ground pollution,
causes rampant infection due to poor hygienic and sanitary conditions. The "Throw away culture"
results in these bags finding their way in to the drainage system This littering reduces rate of rain
water percolating, resulting in lowering of already low water levels in our cities. The soil fertility
deteriorates as the plastic bags remains in the soil for years and poisons the soil and ground water
and entering the human food chain causing disastrous effect on our health. The faculty members Ms
Subhanshi Purwar and Ms Priyanka organized a workshop to teach the students to make paper bags.
These paper bags were distributed in the locality, especially to the shops. The project was a success.
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
The students of the college created awareness in the locality as to judicious use of energy such as
LPG, petrol, diesel and electricity, as all these fuels are from non renewable resources and hence are
limited. The consumption of these fuels increases the carbon footprint, causing further deterioration
in our environment. The students carried out campaigns to sensitized the locals to energy / fuel
saving tips while cooking, driving and in use of electricity.
The B. Ed. (2012-13) session was full of fervor and diverse activities and went a long way in
fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of the learner teachers and helped in further rounding up
of the personality of each and every participant, may they be learners or trainers. The endeavor
of the faculty to help the learners discover, explore, nurture and bloom their respective talent
and inherent capabilities, so that on passing out of this institution they feel confident and
emboldened to venture into the world and achieve growth and success in their careers and life.
We at CRSCE believe in the philosophy that change is constant and the end of every B.Ed
session sets a platform for a new horizon and invigorates the faculty to rededicate themselves to
the further growth of the institution and help it reach new heights in the field of training
educators and hence contribute to betterment of the society. They look forward to commence the
next session with enthusiasm, vibrancy and dynamism.
