GIRL CHILD EMPOWERMENT

The Social Impact Club of CMR University School of Legal Studies continues its mission to empower communities through Community Service Programme in collaboration with Dr. Sandhya Health Foundation and M/s Convergent Wireless Communications.

As part of the 34th Initiative of Girl Child Empowerment, we conducted a powerful Legal Advocacy Workshop, equipping young women with knowledge of their rights and legal protections. From workplace equality to protection against violence, we believe that awareness is the first step toward empowerment.

Together, we are shaping a future where every girl knows her rights, raises her voice, and stands strong against injustice! ⚖️✨

The Social Impact Club of CMR University, School of Legal Studies, has successfully hosted ARTISTIC IMPACT, a poster-making initiative in observance of National Girl Child Day.

The Event gave students a dynamic platform to creatively express their perspectives on the theme, "Empowering the Girl Child: Laws that Protect and Promote." This initiative served as a medium for artistic expression and sparked insightful discussions, reinforcing the significance of safeguarding and uplifting girls within society.

The event aimed to raise awareness of key legal frameworks, including the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, POCSO Act, 2012, and the Right to Education Act, 2009, while encouraging critical discussions on aspects such as education, safety, survival, and well-being.

Through their participation, students effectively highlighted the challenges faced by the girl child and proposed actionable solutions, fostering a deeper understanding of gender equality and advocacy.

The event witnessed an encouraging number of participants, each contributing unique perspectives on the significance of National Girl Child Day. Bringing together these diverse viewpoints proved to be an enriching experience, emphasizing the importance of collective efforts in advocating for the rights and empowerment of the girl child.

Overall, the Event which started at 2.30 pm went on till 4.30 pm, we got almost 20 participants, and we had many of our faculty come and encourage us and appreciate us for the posters made.

Moving forward, the Social Impact Club remains dedicated to organizing similar initiatives that inspire students to take an active role in social advocacy, fostering a culture of awareness, inclusivity, and empowerment within the university and beyond.

"Bridging generations while connecting hearts" Students spread Joy and Learn Life's Lessons through community service at the old age home, which was organised by CMRU SOLS, Social Impact Club

Spreading smiles and hopes: "Bringing Love and Laughter through the visit to the orphanage". CMRU SOLS Social Impact has organized the community service programme for the students.

In this time of profound grief, we stand together to honor the life of a bright and dedicated young woman whose dreams were brutally shattered. She was a beacon of hope, not just for her family, but for the countless lives she would have touched through her noble pursuit of medicine. Her journey, filled with hard work, perseverance, and a deep desire to heal others, was tragically cut short in an act of senseless violence. As we gather in her memory, let us remember her not for the cruelty she endured, but for the light she brought into this world—a light that was fueled by her passion, her compassion, and her relentless spirit. We mourn her loss deeply, and our hearts go out to her family, who have lost a daughter, a sister, and a friend It is imperative that we recognize that women’s safety is not just the responsibility of law enforcement or the government—it is the responsibility of each one of us. We must create a culture of respect, empathy, and vigilance. It is up to us to ensure that our society does not tolerate any form of violence against women. We must stand against it, speak out against it, and support those who are fighting to make our spaces safer for everyone.

We must hold ourselves and each other accountable for creating an environment where women can live without fear, where they can pursue their dreams without the shadow of violence looming over them. Silence and indifference are not options—every individual has a role to play in making our society safe for all its members. In her memory, let us renew our commitment to building a society where every woman is safe, where every woman is respected, and where no woman has to fear for her life simply because she is pursuing her passion. May her soul rest in peace, and may her legacy inspire us to work tirelessly for a better, safer world.

Legal service clinic in collaboration with Social Impact Club and Performing Arts Club of CMR University School of Legal Studies organized an Outreach Activity which consisted of 15 student volunteers of legal service clinic and 11 students of First year L.L.B along with the faculty coordinator Ms. Vidya Selvamony, Ms. Kanchana Devi T and Ms. Ramya R, visited Sumangali Seva Ashram on 9th September 2023, 10:30 am. The day began with a beautiful greeting of our teacher coordinators where the cute little kids gave roses as token of warm welcome to the teachers.

Then the interesting part began where the students started interacting with the children first, we had an introduction session given by one of our student and then a gist about CMR Law school. To make the children feel a little comfortable around us quiz was conducted to make the session a little interactive, questions were asked based on general knowledge and chocolates were given to the children who answered the questions correctly. To our surprise many answered the questions correctly. Later we distributed the pencils we got for the children. The small ones were making a buzz regarding the colour of the pencil which they wished to have. Then we moved on to the main purpose of the visit which is creating legal awareness among the children regarding Right to Education, Government schemes for women and children. The student volunteers started speaking about the importance of education and introduced SSP (State Scholarship Portal) scheme where the details how to enrol for the scholarship was shared, the documents required was also told to the children. An introduction to NEP (National Education Policy) was also briefed to the children. The speaker asked a question what they wanted to become in the future? We were surprised to hear how ambitious these children were, which also motivated us to do more. Later we sang happy birthday song for the little birthday girl named Pooja who was into first standard she had the big smile on her face when she received chocolates from us, her smile was so pure and innocent that we were overwhelmed with joy. Later the Performing Arts club members performed mime on the theme “Save Nature” which highlighted the message how environment is important in our lives. Thus, we came to the end of our outreach activity. We donated books, stationeries, cooking provisions, hygiene products etc which were collected from the students in our college during the donation drive. This was a beautiful experience for us as students which helped us to realize that being a professional isn’t enough but to be a Human with Humanity which is the ultimate success that one can achieve. This activity motivated us to do more social services in the coming future and we will for sure inculcate this good deed that we experienced and will serve the society. This will not be our only activity as a law student but only the beginning to many more in the coming future. On behalf of the students of first year L.L.B we thank the teacher coordinators and our fellow seniors who sowed the seed of humanity in us to do more in the coming future and we promise to keep this up throughout our life. Thank you for giving us this wonderful opportunity to learn the Art of selfless service.
