Happy Diwali

Happy Diwali to all from NSS IIT Kharagpur team!

IIT Kharagpur is known for illumination and Rangoli in celebration of Diwali. While that is for the love we have for our tradition, this performance by our young 1st and 2nd year UG students in a nearby tribal village in the morning session, shows that we are in love with our neighbours too on this auspicious day!

This is one of the village where caste certificates have been facilitated by NSS team. We took this opportunity to discuss with the villagers how they can get benefit out of them and how our team can work with them in this regard. We told ourselves in our group meeting in the village that providing caste-certificates is not enough. At least for the current generation, hand-holding will be required. Once a batch from the village is fully literate, they may be able to do things on their own. Till then we need to remain engaged pro-actively.
