a ray of hope .....There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again. Recently Parivartan organized summer camp which lasted for 5 days from 10th to 14th of May. There was a huge participation of students from both private and government schools. The main aim of this camp was to inculcate within the students the feeling of working together in a group, to help each other, to make them aware of the technologies that are contributing a lot to the society. The very first day an Entry behavior form was given to the students to check the present mindset of the students. A group activity was conducted in which the students were given a topic on social cause and they had to present a drama for 4 to 5 minutes which was judged to increase the excitation among the children. Then there was a fine arts competition which included clay modeling and painting. The enthusiasm of the children was simply inexpressible. Then there was a lab visit. Students were taken to robotics lab, physics lab, SID lab. The instructors gave them a basic overview about technical aspects of the lab, about the projects the students are working on. The children were very amazed to see the things which were beyond their imagination. Their eyes were brightened with lots of hopes and it seemed as if they were curious to get involved in these activities and explore. A science quiz was also organized to check the mental level of the children. There was aeromodelling workshop in which the students were told about water rockets and then a competition was also held in which the students had to make water rocket and then the height up to which the rocket rises was judged. It seemed as if their eyes were fixed on the sky and they were flying with lots of aspirations and desires in their heart. Seeing their inquisitiveness and innocent faces even we remembered our childhood days when this was just the part of our fantasies. Now comes the fifth and the most memorable day. Firstly there was EduXtree Youth Counseling in which the students were told about the career opportunities and also that it is a complete educational platform for carrier guidance. Then there was prize distribution. The students were given prizes for the various activities they did by Prem Kumar Kalra (Director of IIT Jodhpur), Dr. Vivek Vijay sir and Narayan sir (Assistant Professor Energy). The students were very happy and excited. We talked to them regarding their visit. They said that they enjoyed a lot and also learned many things. It gave us a feeling of ultra satisfaction that we were successful in our aim. All the faculties were also very happy. All the students had smile on their faces and a determination to do something in their life and contribute to the society. Lastly they were given Exit behavior form to know their mindset after they underwent through such activities. Overall it was an awesome experience throughout the camp. All the members were very cooperative and faculty’s guidance gave us the right direction to work along. We hope that this camp will bring PARIVARTAN in their lives.
