Events | NSS IIT HYDERABAD

VIDYADAAN

"Gaining knowledge is the best step to Wisdom... Sharing knowledge is the first step to Humanity..."

Vidyadaan is an attempt to share knowledge with the children of government schools, which will be conducted regularly. The main motto is to ensure that the children don't lack basic skills like self-introduction in English, simple math, etc. We conduct a few activities to teach them concepts instead of regular teaching. We also conduct games as an extra activity to cheer them up. This event also acts as a stress-reliever for volunteers who get a chance to spend time with children.

UDAAN

"Knowledge increases by sharing not by saving..."

Udaan is a regular event that NSS conducts to share knowledge with the students of nearby villages. It is an event which is conducted on Saturdays. Students of IITH teach them many topics with videos and ensure that the purpose is being fulfilled. Storytelling and other extra-curricular activities are also conducted to brighten them. Based on the standards, the students are divided into sub-groups, and enough volunteers are assigned to each sub-group for maximum efficiency.

ORPHANAGE VISIT AND OLD AGE HOME

"Shower love to those who need it.."

Many children have more hunger for love than the hunger for food. It is easier to donate food than to shower love. Upon noticing that children from orphanages need a better company to play with or share their thoughts with, We, NSS IITH students, felt that orphanage visits would help them. Hence, we started this event and found students who participated expressed their contentment.

BLOOD DONATION

"If you really want to lend a hand, lend an arm..."

One of the primary reasons for many deaths is unavailability of blood during emergencies. Keeping this in mind, NSS IITH organizes frequent blood donation camps to play its part in minimizing casualties. Many students and faculty participate in this activity, thereby contributing to the nation as its responsible citizens. This event is usually conducted on major days like Independence day, Republic day, etc.

SWACHH BHARAT

"Cleanliness is Service..."

Cleanliness may be defined as the emblem of purity of mind. If the vicinities are clean, the atmosphere becomes so fresh and lively. It is the responsibility of every citizen to keep their surroundings clean. Swachhta hi Seva is an event conducted in the campus to ensure that the vicinity is clean and safe. Students attend this event in higher strengths and try their maximum to make the event successful.

"Plant a Tree... Plant a Hope..."

The easiest and most sustainable way to positively affect the environment is by planting trees. The plantation is one of the biggest tasks to serve our environment, and there are numerous benefits too. It is our responsibility to contribute our maximum to make the nation green.

Many people come together for this event to show their love for the country.

BOOK DONATION

"Books are forever! Donate them and change the world..."

Knowledge is not always shared by teaching; it is also shared by donating books. As we progress through certain stages of life the books which were once of use to us are no longer needed and are left unused. So, book donation drives are organized where students donate books that could be of better use somewhere else. The event is conducted every year and donations are made to orphanages and old age homes.

MATTRESS DONATION

"Do a good deed by giving to those in need..."

The importance of good nap cannot be emphasized more and mattress is a necessity for quality sleep.

This event is conducted once a year, many graduating students and volunteers contribute to it by donating their mattress.

CLOTH-COLLECTION

Clothing is one of the basic survival needs. During times of natural calamities, many people lack this basic need. NSS IITH organizes this event of collecting clothes from students and donating them to the people in need. By helping one person, you cannot change the whole world, but you can change the world for that one person.
