BEST PRACTICES - 1

1. Title of the Practice - SOCIAL BATTALION & TASK FORSE

2. Objectives of the Practice

i)To develop service mentality and habit of social service and to enable the students to participate in various social activities.

ii)To make student community aware of social life outside their academia.

iii)To engage in activities that help the local communities in their difficult situations.

iv)To enable students to respond and to manage crisis, disasters and natural calamities.

3. The Context:

There is a lack of empathy among students and a general tendency to stay away from social realities. But the college is always deliberate and particular in including the excluded and in reaching out to the unreached. In this context, this practice stands unique and apart. This practice trains students to creatively and responsibly respond to the grave issues in the society. Selected students are given training and they train all other students to face certain issues and crisis in the society. Since there is a limit in the strength of students who can be enrolled in NCC and NSS, this practice gave opportunities to those students to serve in the society.

4. The Practice:

The programme is designed to encourage students to join voluntarily for various social activities. Entry to this voluntary team is open to all, but preference is given to students who are not members of N.C.C/N.S.S. Thus, this practice provides a platform for students who are interested in social activities. The members of the Battalion are also provided with different skill enhancement programmes such as First Aid training, Health and Safety, Disaster management, and Community Work and  these students and all other students in the college are given proper training.

5. Evidence of Success:

These programmes transformed students more socially responsible and empathetic.Students started engaging in more community service activities without any compulsions and the increase in the number of students who voluntarily took part in the activities is a testimony for the success.

6.Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Organizing students for voluntary activities outside the campus and catering to the needs of the diverse groups in the community raised challenges in the initial stages.Also since this was a novel initiative,it took some time to become more systematic.
