Group Discussion
The HHS group discussion on "Unemployment" was a classroom activity aimed at improving public
speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. The issue of unemployment is highly relevant today,
affecting both developed and developing countries, making it an ideal topic for debate.
Participants were divided into two teams:
Team A:
o Pritesh
o Amit
o Abhishek
o Pooja
Team B:
o Niranjan
o Anand
o Sai
o Sarvesh
Each team was asked to present their views on the causes of unemployment, its effects on society, and
potential solutions that could help reduce it. After the presentations, there was a round of rebuttals
where teams challenged each other's arguments.
1.Improving Public Speaking: Participants had to present their views clearly and confidently in
front of their peers
.
2.Developing Critical Thinking: The teams had to think deeply about the issue of
unemployment, analyze it from different angles, and come up with thoughtful solutions.
3.Enhancing Teamwork: The activity required each team member to work with others to ensure
a cohesive and well-structured argument.
1Preparation Phase:
o Both teams were given 30 minutes to gather their thoughts and prepare their
arguments. They could use facts, figures, and examples to strengthen their points.
o Each team divided the topic among its members so that every participant covered a
different aspect of unemployment, such as causes, effects, and solutions.
2.Presentation Phase:
o Team A presented first, with each member speaking for about 3-5 minutes. They
presented a detailed analysis of unemployment in India and globally, discussing the
reasons behind it, including technological changes and education gaps.
o Team B followed, giving their perspective on the issue. Their focus was on rural
unemployment, underemployment, and how global factors like economic recessions
contribute to job loss.
o
1Rebuttal Phase:
o After the presentations, both teams had a chance to respond to the other team's points.
This phase was meant to challenge the arguments made by the opposing team, ask
questions, and defend their own viewpoints.
2.Judging:
o The judges evaluated the teams on various criteria, including how well they presented
their arguments, the clarity of their speech, their ability to address counter-arguments,
and how well the team worked together.
Pritesh: Began by outlining the main causes of unemployment, particularly focusing on the
mismatch between the skills people acquire through education and what the job market
demands. He also spoke about the impact of automation and how technological advancements
are making some jobs obsolete while creating new opportunities for those with the right skills
.
Amit: Concentrated on the link between population growth and unemployment, especially in
developing countries like India. He stressed that while the workforce is growing, the number
of available jobs isn’t keeping pace, creating a major issue. Amit also discussed how
government programs focused on skill development and entrepreneurship could be part of the
solution
.
Abhishek: Delved into the social impacts of unemployment, especially how it affects
individuals' mental health and leads to social problems like crime and instability. He pointed
out that unemployed graduates face significant stress, often feeling underutilized or rejected
by the job market.
Pooja: Highlighted the gender disparity in unemployment, emphasizing that women are more
likely to be unemployed than men due to various factors, including societal expectations, lack
of opportunities, and lower representation in certain industries. She suggested that creating
more opportunities for women and encouraging female entrepreneurship could help balance
the scales.
Team B’s Key Points:
Niranjan: Focused on underemployment, where people are working in jobs below their
qualification or skills level. He argued that creating more jobs isn’t enough; the jobs need to
be of better quality and offer fair wages. He also touched on job insecurity, especially in
sectors affected by seasonal changes or economic downturns.
Anand: Emphasized the role of education in tackling unemployment. He argued that the
current education system is too focused on theoretical knowledge and doesn't provide enough
practical skills that employers are looking for. He advocated for education reforms that
include vocational training and more partnerships between industries and educational
institutions.
Sai: Discussed rural unemployment and how migration to cities in search of jobs is leading to
overcrowded urban areas. He argued that more attention should be given to rural areas,
especially in developing agricultural and cottage industries, which could create jobs where
people live rather than forcing them to move to cities.
Sarvesh: Brought in a global perspective by discussing how economic recessions and global
events like the COVID-19 pandemic have led to widespread unemployment. He argued that
countries should work together to create better economic policies and trade agreements that
can help reduce unemployment worldwide.
The group discussion provided a platform for students to improve their public speaking and debating
skills. It was an engaging session that not only taught participants how to present their views clearly
but also helped them understand the complex issue of unemployment in greater depth.
Winning Team:
o Team A won the discussion because of their detailed approach and practical
solutions. They focused more on the Indian context, which resonated well with the
judges.

Waste management and maintaining a clean campus environment are essential for promoting hygiene,
sustainability, and well-being in educational institutions. Clean campuses ensure a healthier
environment for students, staff, and faculty members, and proper waste management minimizes
environmental impact, promotes recycling, and fosters eco-friendly practices. This report explores an
initiative led by the A1 batch, where they undertook a cleaning drive around the college, focusing on
waste collection, sorting, and disposal practices to contribute to a sustainable and litter-free campus
What: A activity focused on cleaning a campus and all classrooms by throwing out garbage
in dustbin.

1.To create awareness among students about the importance of cleanliness and proper waste
management.
2.To improve the aesthetic and environmental quality of the college campus.
To promote responsible waste disposal habits, emphasizing the need for segregation, recycling, and
waste reduction.
The cleaning drive was organized systematically with a clear plan, involving different steps:
1.Preparation and Team Formation: The A1 batch was divided into smaller groups, each assigned
a specific area in the college. They were equipped with cleaning tools, garbage bags, gloves, and
protective masks.
2.Area Assessment: Each team performed a preliminary survey of their assigned areas to identify the
types and amounts of waste present. The goal was to categorize waste as recyclable, non-recyclable
Garbage.
3.Collection and Segregation: Teams collected all visible garbage, paying special attention to high-
traffic areas such as classrooms, corridors, and the canteen. Waste was segregated into separate bags
for paper, plastic, metal, food waste, and other categories.
4.Disposal Process: After collection, the waste was appropriately disposed of in designated campus
dustbins and recycling bins. Non-recyclable waste was sent to municipal waste disposal, while
compostable waste was taken to the campus composting unit.
To instill a sense of responsibility among students and faculty regarding environmental preservation.
The cleaning activity was a successful initiative that emphasized teamwork, responsibility, and the
importance of maintaining a clean environment. Pritesh, Amit, Abhishek, Niranjan, Anand, and
Saikumar displayed teamwork and dedication to achieve the goal of a clean, welcoming classroom.
The activity was not only productive but also fostered a sense of pride and ownership over the shared
learning space.

Cleaner and More Hygienic Campus: The initiative resulted in visibly cleaner classrooms,
corridors, and surrounding campus areas.
Environmental Awareness: The drive helped spread awareness about sustainable waste management
practices, encouraging a culture of responsibility among students and faculty.
Increased Participation in Sustainability: The activity inspired other batches to plan similar
activities, promoting a long-term culture of cleanliness and eco-consciousness.
Reduction in Waste Volume: With effective segregation, the college reduced the amount of waste
sent to landfills by approximately 20%, thanks to the recycling and composting components of the
project.
Potential for Regular Programs: Based on the success of this project, the college administration is
considering making such cleaning drives a part of the curriculum to instill environmental
values in every batch.
The A1 batch’s cleaning drive not only achieved its immediate goal of maintaining cleanliness on
campus but also initiated a sustainable practice that can be adopted for future batches. This program
highlights the importance of collective responsibility and sets a foundation for integrating
environmental practices into everyday routines, thereby contributing to a cleaner and greener
college environment.
