Past Events
 
The project commenced with an online inaugural ceremony on 04th March'21. In this program, a detailed discussion of the various projects available for students to volunteer was discussed in the presence of our honorable guests Mr. Venkatesh Murthy and Ms. NIkita Kashyap.
 
After the successful inauguration, Project S.E.V.A. in collaboration with Youth for Seva organized its first community outreach program on 16th March 2021, in which our team of 18+ members along with two teachers visited Lohar Basti in Sarai Rohilla. The team covered four main areas including Menstrual Hygiene, Creativity, Entertainment, and Problems faced due to the covid pandemic. Volunteers also interviewed the locals about problems faced during the pandemic, be it financial issues or emotional breakdown. People shared their experiences on how the pandemic disproportionately hurt the poor due to lack of food, shelter, and other basic needs. Overall, it was an overwhelming experience for all the volunteers and children. 
 
On March 30th, 2021, Project S.E.V.A. organized a training session for students. Mr. Ashish led the session and tried to resolve the key issues of soon-to-be graduate students during the two-hour session. He concentrated on sharing tips and tricks for cracking interviews, what recruiters expect, and what basic questions one should prepare for. The session was well received by the students.
 
On April 26, 2021, Project S.E.V.A., hosted a webinar on ‘Covid Vaccine Immunization and Lifestyle Diseases.’ Dr. Jyoti Laxmi was the webinar's speaker. The webinar's goal was to focus on developing positive mental health in order to combat the novel coronavirus. She described some symptoms of Covid-19, such as headache, weakness, loose motions, conjunctivitis or vomiting, etc. 
 
When the 2nd wave of Covid-19 hit India, Project S.E.V.A. worked day and night to provide verified leads of oxygen, plasma, hospital beds, etc. There was a huge scarcity of these amenities which is why we decided to take the reins and gather important information about various healthcare resources and post it on our social media platforms. The information was being shared in good faith. This is why it turned out to be a great achievement for Project S.E.V.A.
 
Project S.E.V.A. joined hands with Youth for Seva for conducting a teaching session on Civic Awareness, from July 31st, 2021 to 30th September 2021. To assuage the life of children from underprivileged sections of society, this initiative took place. Volunteers ushered them regarding water conservation, waste management, and road safety. The kids were avid as they came up with their own ideas and insights. Overall this initiative turned out as a cognizance experience for kids.
 
Furthermore, Project S.E.V.A. in collaboration with Youth for Seva contributed to their mega project- NMMS. This initiative commenced in October 2021 & lasted till March 2022. The college volunteers, with the help of video lectures, taught students of underprivileged sections, several topics like Venn diagrams, coding-decoding, etc. Students were keen to learn and took active participation during the whole session. 
 
Moving further, on 18th October 2021, Project S.E.V.A. organized a webinar on the importance of the subconscious mind. The Speaker commenced the webinar by apprising that the human brain is divided into the conscious mind and subconscious mind. She mentioned that the subconscious part of the brain can easily inculcate new habits if supplemented with 21 days of practice. This webinar added value to the lives of the attendees. Project S.E.V.A. decided to celebrate Diwali by spreading happiness in a unique way. Hence we visited ‘FLAG CHILDREN HOME’ on 28th October 2021 for celebrating Diwali. We made Rangoli, Toran, and decorated Diya. Our volunteers were astounded to witness the authentic flair of kids. Later, we gave them Potli bags as Diwali presents. In the end, the team was fortunate and overwhelmed to experience the joy in the eyes of kids.
 
For greeting new students to the college, Project S.E.V.A. organized an online orientation program on 21st January 2022. Participants were keen to know what Project S.E.V.A. is. A lot of queries were asked by the audience towards the end.   
Moving further, Project S.E.V.A. conducted  a series of webinars on 'HOW YOU ARE, REALLY?' The theme of this series was Mental Health. Three different speakers were invited on three different days to speak about the topic.
 
Our very first webinar was on the topic 'Believe- You're good enough, A webinar on unlocking your Self-Confidence'. In this webinar, the speaker apprised the importance of mental well-being. 
 
The Second Webinar was on 'Rejection is Redirection- A webinar on handling your rejection fearlessly'. In this webinar, the speaker talked about the fact that Human Brain is divided into 2 parts i.e. conscious mind and subconscious mind, and how our day-to-day activities are controlled by the subconscious mind. The third and last webinar of this series was on the topic 'You Are Unique - A webinar on embracing your own uniqueness.' In this webinar, the speaker asked us to perform some activities and through those activities she made us realize that we all are unique in some or the other way. She highlighted the fact that almost everyone goes through similar circumstances but the reaction towards those situations is different.
 
The feedback we got after completing this series was overwhelming. All the three speakers did justice to the topic as well as the time of the students.
