WORK WITH COMMUNITY CRSCE encourages its students to participate and to reflect on the difference they are making in the

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.
