COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT

……Experiential learning through community engagement
Introduction
x Community Service Project is an experiential learning strategy that integrates meaningful
community service with instruction, participation, learning and community development
x Community Service Project involves students in community development and service activities
and applies the experience to personal and academic development.
x Community Service Project is meant to link the community with the college for mutual benefit.
The community will be benefited with the focused contribution of the college students for the
village/ local development. The college finds an opportunity to develop social sensibility and
responsibility among students and also emerge as a socially responsible institution.

Objective
Community Service Project should be an integral part of the curriculum, as an alternative to the 2
months of Summer Internships / Apprenticeships / On the Job Training, whenever there is an exigency
when students cannot pursue their summer internships. The specific objectives are;
x To sensitize the students to the living conditions of the people who are around them,
x To help students to realize the stark realities of the society.
x To bring about an attitudinal change in the students and help them to develop societal
consciousness, sensibility, responsibility and accountability
x To make students aware of their inner strength and help them to find new /out of box solutions
to the social problems.
x To make students socially responsible citizens who are sensitive to the needs of the
disadvantaged sections.
x To help students to initiate developmental activities in the community in coordination with
public and government authorities.
x To develop a holistic life perspective among the students by making them study culture,
traditions, habits, lifestyles, resource utilization, wastages and its management, social problems,
public administration system and the roles and responsibilities of different persons across
different social systems.

Implementation of Community Service Project

x Every student should put in a 6 weeks for the Community Service Project during the summer
vacation.
x Each class/section should be assigned with a mentor.
x Specific Departments could concentrate on their major areas of concern. For example, Dept.
of Computer Science can take up activities related to Computer Literacy to different sections
of people like - youth, women, house-wives, etc
x A log book has to be maintained by each of the student, where the activities
undertaken/involved to be recorded.
x The logbook has to be countersigned by the concerned mentor/faculty incharge.

Electronics & Communication Engineering

x Evaluation to be done based on the active participation of the student and grade could be
awarded by the mentor/faculty member.
x The final evaluation to be reflected in the grade memo of the student.
x The Community Service Project should be different from the regular programmes of
NSS/NCC/Green Corps/Red Ribbon Club, etc.
x Minor project report should be submitted by each student. An internal Viva shall also be
conducted by a committee constituted by the principal of the college.
x Award of marks shall be made as per the guidelines of Internship/apprentice/ on the job training

Procedure
x A group of students or even a single student could be assigned for a particular habitation or
village or municipal ward, as far as possible, in the near vicinity of their place of stay, so as to
enable them to commute from their residence and return back by evening or so.
x The Community Service Project is a twofold one –
o First, the student/s could conduct a survey of the habitation, if necessary, in terms of
their own domain or subject area. Or it can even be a general survey, incorporating all
the different areas. A common survey format could be designed. This should not be
viewed as a duplication of work by the Village or Ward volunteers, rather, it could be
another primary source of data.
o Secondly, the student/s could take up a social activity, concerning their domain or
subject area. The different areas, could be like –
ƒ Agriculture
ƒ Health
ƒ Marketing and Cooperation
ƒ Animal Husbandry
ƒ Horticulture
ƒ Fisheries
ƒ Sericulture
ƒ Revenue and Survey
ƒ Natural Disaster Management
ƒ Irrigation
ƒ Law & Order
ƒ Excise and Prohibition
ƒ Mines and Geology
ƒ Energy
ƒ Internet
ƒ Free Electricity
ƒ Drinking Water
