Report from Gholgharia Village Unit
This is a short report on activities carried out last month by student members of Gholgharia village unit of NSS, IIT Kharagpur. This unit was declared best unit of the year two years back. Last year they missed the trophy by a whisker! Comes the new session, comes new members in the team. But the tradition to give the team's best for the community they serve, seems to continue.
Tree plantation , van-mahotsav had been one of the most successful campaign of this unit. A big stretch of the primary school compound is already transformed by the NSS team. This year too, the campaign was very successful. Following this, a football tournament was organized where school students and local youth participated. Prizes were distributed in a function in the presence of village school teachers, NSS Program Officer and NSS Coordinator. Besides enjoying the monsoon spirit that fosters a spirit of friendship, the tournament helped villagers connect to NSS volunteers easily.
The unit arranged a book rack for a library that NSS team is trying to put in place, and the work to populate the library is going on in the background. A health check-up camp was organized by the unit in the village primary school which benefited seventy villagers. Service to anganwadi centre made them familiar with the work done there and the last mile issue our nation faces. Like other units, this unit too distributed PRERANA scholarships to guardian of two meritorious village school students. This scholarship is instituted by earlier batches of NSS students who have already graduated from the institute.
The following pictures give a visual walk-through of various activities conducted by the unit last month.
