Social Involvement Programme
The discipline-centric SIP for the Commerce Department is being conducted in collaboration with Seva Sahyog, an NGO which is based in Pune. Established in the year 2009, Seva Sahyog Foundation works in the areas of elderly, underprivileged children, disabled, education, literacy health and nutrition. The NGO has provided two activities which are described as follows:
1. Data Collection and Analysis
The theme for 2022 is an ‘E-SCHOOL KIT ‘and the students of FYBA have to conduct a survey on ‘EDZAM APPLICATION’ which is an online platform provided by the Foundation to the underprivileged children and check if they are having any difficulty while using the application. The volunteers have to phone the children from economically weaker sections of the society who have been provided with the application/memory card in their mobile phones through which they can access all their subject textbooks and can refer to videos too. The mode of communicating with the underprivileged students is in Hindi.
2. Video Editing
The FYBA students who are not proficient in Hindi have been assigned another task of Video Editing, the details of which will be provided shortly by the Foundation.
There has been proper coordination among all the students and the NGO coordinator, Mr. Aniket while conducting the activity. There is a total of 36 FYBA students enrolled for this activity out of which 7 students will conduct the video editing task.
The students from SYBA performed various online activities for the under-privileged children. The Discipline Centric Activity was conducted for a duration of 5 hours. Some activities included Conversation Dialogue Writing, Story Writing, Math Problem Solving and YouTube Links extraction. All the four activities were divided equally among all the students.
