SCOPE

Social Responsibility: The Big picture

Every student aspires to make a mark in the society, pursue dreams and define his//her lives themselves. It is whence Vachas originates? to provide a milieu wherein the students are accountable to bring about a change in the social challenges that prevail in the larger community. As a starter, the club provides  an interaction medium for the members to widen their perspective on several issues ? the RTI Act ,the Aadhaar Project, the Lokpal bill ?to name a few. The Vachas .is a think tank that can trigger the thought process, evoke an insight and integrate the views on several such issues and finally act upon them to bring about the very desirable element- the difference.

CEA: With an urge of creating an impact on the society, began the onset of CEA (Centre for Extension Activities), an initiative by the students of K L Deemed to be University. The CEA with the combined effort of Aastha, Vachas and Abhinaya clubs, stimulated the phenomenon through a medical camp conducted in the village of Nageshwarapuram Thanda, situated 20 km from Pidiguralla in Guntur District, on the map .As the first step, a survey was conducted among the people of the village to arrive at a clear picture of various ailments bothering them. A thorough statistical report was prepared to substantiate for the further analysis. The two-day event on 3rd February and 6th February, comprised the survey and camp headed by a competent Doctor to cater to the health-needs of the villagers, 250 in number, who turned out with tremendous enthuse and hope for change and betterment. The volunteers experienced an inexplicable complacence as they were able to achieve the mind shift in the villagers?. The students emphasized the aspects of the role of education and hygiene through a skit, to spread awareness among the masses about the foreseen consequences and the scope for improvement in the same. As KiranBirSethi says, ?Change is contagious?, this first effort to rise the ?hope factor ?among the villagers is expected to trigger a persistent progressive and constructive set of efforts for the welfare and development of the larger community in the long-run.

Project Placements:

The book intends to cover all the aspects that would give the reader a panoramic view of Placements .Senior Interviews, the experiences, Preparation kit ,Interview Preparation, HR mindsets, Do?s and Don?ts, Myth Busters..And many more features exclusively for the students who aspire to get placed on the campus.

The two-day event on 3rd February and 6th February, comprised the survey and camp headed by a competent Doctor to cater to the health-needs of the villagers, 250 in number, who turned out with tremendous enthuse and hope for change and betterment.

The volunteers experienced an inexplicable complacence as they were able to achieve the mind shift in the villagers from ?meeru em chestaru?? to ?malli epudu vastharu?? The students emphasized the aspects of the role of education and hygiene through a skit, to spread awareness among the masses about the foreseen consequences and the scope for improvement in the same.
