Enactus SGNDKC, the college's student led social entrepreneurship society, takes real-world problems of waste, animal welfare, unsustainable consumption and turns them into ventures that create both social good and economic opportunity.

 

Take Project Naaz, which collects discarded coconut shells and upcycles them into scented candles, giving local artisans a fresh source of livelihood in the process. Or Project Sanrakshan, which looks out for the city's stray dogs through regular deworming drives, while also repurposing old denim into reflective collars stitched by localites , a project that protects animals and supports underprivileged workers in the same breath. Then there's Project Pureka, which reimagines everyday waste as eco-friendly, all-purpose cleaners, nudging households toward greener habits one bottle at a time.

 

The work doesn't stop at these ventures. Its members regularly organize animal welfare drives around campus and the community, and every year an annual fest Manzil is organised that invites young entrepreneurs from across different colleges to pitch bold new ideas for social impact.

 

Looking ahead, Enactus SGNDKC hopes to scale these projects further, reach more communities, and keep building ventures that are as financially sound as they are socially meaningful.

Enactus society had its orientation conducted on 6th Jan 2020 for the first-year students to give them a brief about what enactus society stands for and how it works. Ahead of that, the first-year students were provided with a Google form in which they had to answer some questions regarding social causes and entrepreneurship.

 

On 10th Jan 2020 screening round took place where the core team members sat together and chose students who were to be taken forward for the next round. On 15th Jan 2020, the group discussion round took place where the core team members’ shortlisted students for the final round based on the fluency, confidence and quality of answers to some social entrepreneurship questions. The final personal interview round took place on 17th Jan 2020 where again the core team members interviewed the shortlisted students asking their views on some current social causes and giving them case studies based on the department they chose to be a part of. 2 days ahead of the personal interview round the final list of the selected students was put out.

 

Project Sanrakshan is guided towards protecting and guarding the lives and health of stray dogs by devising new mediums of innovation. 

 

Project Sanrakshan not only helps dogs but also helps to improve the livelihood of underprivileged tailors by allowing them to produce and sell handmade dog collars.

 

Additionally, developing a chemical-free deworming powder for dogs, thereby immuning them against health problems caused majorly due to infestation of worms and parasites - primarily in the lungs or intestines.

 

Project Inara aims to empower women with entrepreneurial skills whilst combating hygiene-related diseases such the Covid-19 coronavirus, one bar of soap at a time.

 

Enactus SGNDKC annually organizes an inter-college entrepreneurial competition "BTT- BEYOND THE TANK", which requires the participants to come up with unique, distinctive, non-existing social entrepreneurial ideas that can help them distinguish themselves from the mediocrity. 

 

Just like every year, the number of participation soared this year as well reaching a new high of 97 participants coming from Chills of Jammu to humid Madras, from the land of tea- to the land of deserts with new budding and thriving ideas, the event was held for 3 days commencing from 13th Feb - 16th Feb 2021.
