Highlights of our Programme

 

 

Reaching the poorest people at Kamareddy Railway station

 This was a tough programme. Students were not willing to meet the poorest people, especially the beggars. Some students came forward and interacted with the prest people, at the Railway Station in Kamareddy.

There were few, who were willing to work, but had no work and took shelter at the station and often begged to survive. Two women were thrown out of their houses and were forced to beg. Some sold vegetables and fruits in lesser quantity and made a respectful living. We distributed pulihora/lemon rice and bananas to them and they were very happy to receive them.

Meeting Fruit Vendors at Kamareddy Bus Stand and Creating Awareness on ban on One-time use Plastic covers

The students prepared a questioner and approached the fruit vendors at Kamareddy bus stop and came to know about their lifestyle, the business, and their problems. All the fruit vendors were using paper to pack the fruits and not polythene bags, which was a good practice. Further, we met a young woman who had a basket of fruits to sell. She took the questioner from the hands of the students and read them in English. She had completed her intermediate in English medium. However, she was now selling fruits.

Interaction and Community Service to the Farmers

Students have been watching a woman with her son, working hard thrashing paddy, on the farm opposite to college. The students approached to help the farmer. They worked in the field for an hour and came back. The lady was working on other's farm and she was there with her son to collect the fodder from the field after thrashing the paddy. This served as fodder for her cattle.

Interaction with Lorry Drivers and Creating Awareness on Respecting and Safeguarding Women

This was the toughest programme conducted by the club. Students interacted with lorry drivers at Ganj Market Yard. They first talked about their lifestyle.

Then, they brought the topic of the Disha case and enquired, how they would react if they find lonely women and girls. The lorry drivers said that everybody is not the same. They assured that they will help any women if they approach them. They pledged to respect and save women.

Awareness Programme on Corona Virus and Hand Wash Techniques to the students at Nagireddypet School.

As the cases of Covid -19 were coming up in India, we realized that we should create awareness among children on this. We chose the sister institution, Nagireddypet school near the college, and taught children about the hand wash technique approved by WHO. We also created awareness on preventive measures amidst the growing threat of Corona virus. Lastly, we made all the students and a few staff members wash their hands with liquid soap and the technique taught by our students.

Village Leraning Centres

Our college TTWRDC (M) Kamareddy started a unique programme called ‘Village Learning Centres’, during corona pandemic. Education was most affected area during the pandemic period and among the students, it was the poorest who suffered the most. While, the

students of urban areas, and the middle classes had access to online classes and other online programmes to keep updated with their education, the students from lower income levels specially in the rural areas were devoid of any source to continue their education. 

• To provide uninterrupted education to the students coming from rural background, marginal sections, low income groups. 
• To keep children and student teachers engaged in effective learning process during the serious period of covid 19.
• To ensure the children  and student teachers learn about safe and secure measures to keep themselves away from being affected by covid 19.The best students from each class were selected by the respective housemasters and trained for the programme through online mode using whatsapp chat.
