During my frst year I was a part of literacy group of Prof.
P. Guha. I was involved in teaching students of Ambedkar club and Disha
Seema Centre initially and then moved to teaching children at the
Congress centre outside IIT campus where i taught children of mess
workers. Me and imbesat also taught children of cleaning staff of MMM
hall in our room. We also taught a student naed Imran for AIEEE in last
few weeks
During
the beginning of second year me and imbesat had prepared a two year
schedule to teach students for engineering entrance exams. We had
conducted a test and selected 20 students for the same(with the help of
Prof. Saha during last weeks of 1st year) but could continue more than 4
classes due to lack of proper venue. During the rest of my 2nd year I
have been a part of NSS central team and my job has been to write
articles for the NSS newsletter and cover events organised/facilitated
by NSS.
This summers I will be a part of awareness drive
organized with the help of respective govt. of Bihar and jharkhand for a
duration of 25 days. Saif and Imbesat will also be there. After that in
June i will be conducting medical camps in village near Bathinda,
Punjab my home town with the help of an NGO Seva Bharti which I am a
part of. This society organises medical camps for poor and also coducts
games and other awareness campaigns in rural areas of Punjab. During my
stay in NSS for past 2 years I have learnt a lot and I am happy to
contribute on my behalf for the betterment of the society.
