HOPE

HOPE

HOPE (Hold On Pain Ends) is an extension Programme of the institution, trying to find people who need any assistance.

Objective of the Practice:

• To realize our vision and mission
• To develop social responsibility among students
• To empower socially and economically backward communities
• To achieve the best possible levels of personal and social well-being.
• To achieve social justice through social change and development.

Context:

Social responsibility and inclusiveness form an integral part of the education process which helps them realize the social and economic disparities.  In the context of declining social commitment in the new generation, the college has set up a project called HOPE‌ to help students understand the importance of social service.
