1. TITLE :
“Samajika Dayitva”
2. MISSION :
·
We aim to encourage young
people’s understanding of the environment and of the need for sustainability.
·
A common mistake we make when it comes to
environmental issues, and most other issues for that matter, is that we tend to
focus all our efforts on shaping behaviours rather than attitudes. “Change an
attitude, and the behaviour will follow”.
·
Major
current environmental issues include climate change, pollution, environmental
degradation, and resource depletion. Hence, was took an example of each with a
video and presented to them

BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM :
· Majority of India still lives in villages and so the topic
of rural education in India is of utmost importance. A survey shows that even
though the number of rural students attending schools is rising, but more than
half of the students in fifth grade are unable to read a second grade text book
and are not able to solve simple mathematical problems.
·
Any country’s environmental problems are related to the
level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and
the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty,
urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for
the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become
serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored.

5. ACHIEVEMENTS :
·
We were able to explain and
make them understandclearly about what we are explaining.
·
There were very talented and
got so much benifited by us.
·
They were able to understand
clearly about what we were explaining till the end of the session.
·
We made
them to plant saplings around the school and they did the same at their homes
too.
·
As they
got to know about Indian army, some of them showed interest to choose it as an
option for their career.
6. OBSTACLES FACED :
Convincing the principal to conduct the awareness programs
in their busy schedule and children to attend the awareness session.
Meeting at a particular place and deciding the agenda as
everyone live in different parts of the city.
Making children understand how important it is for their
future if they continue their education.
As the village is underdeveloped, there was no proper food
facility, and we have to stay starved for long hours. But didn’t left in the
middle.
At first no one was interested in attending the camp and it
was a challenge for us to motivate them.
ROAD AHEAD:
·
In recent decades government has made significant progress
on access to schooling and enrolment rates in primary education but dropout
rates and low levels of learning remain challenges for the state and central
government. Without immediate and urgent help, these children cannot
effectively progress in the education system, and so improving the quality of
learning in schools is the next big challenge for both the state and central
governments.
·
Making people aware of government’s policies
and its steps towards the development of the country. Discussions, case
studies, or other interactive methods will bring about more visible change.
Discussion forums and blogs can help in planning activities and reaching out to
many people. Technology can also foster interactive learning, building videos
and hosting a website for the same. Although the use of teaching technology
presents challenges, it has the potential to achieve goals.

ROSES
AND THORNS :

The main
thing we all commonly experienced was how to gives lectures in a crowd. We
personally practiced two to three times before delivering the lectures because
nothing should go wrong and we should not be blamed. We learnt many new things
while preparing for lectures. We memorized our childhood and enjoyed a lot with
students and interacted with them in a peaceful manner Since the school is in
village, while planting those samplings they showed such a dedication and we
observed that they are showing a bit more affection on those saplings.
