Self Help group (HUNAR) -
2 Objective-
The purpose of this practice is to generate handcraft skills in students. Alongside their study, the students can expertise some daily household chores and then further strengthen themselves in these daily household handcraft skills to make them sources of earning.
3 Context -
This practice helps in pedestalizing the ability or talent of the students to work. The students come ahead to work (especially manually) unhesitatingly driven by their inner spirit for competition. The majority of our college's disciples comprise students from rural areas. Most of them belong to proletariat section of the society who earns their bread daily with sweat and blood. Keeping in mind the interests of students belonging to such sections of the society, our college provides guidance (other than academic) to these students with time to time so that this guidance can benefit them at some point of time in near future.
4 The Practice -
With the purpose of overall personality development of the students, many such training camps and workshops are organized in our college which will definitely prove beneficial for students in their future. Especially the NSS units running in the college, they keep on organizing such skill development oriented activities during their camps. In a 7 day NSS camp of Unit 4 (girls) organized during the session 2019-2020, girl students were motivated towards daily household chores which are otherwise seen as menial jobs. But under the expedition titled "Hunar" girl students were motivated by professionals. The girl students made pickles, sculptures from clay and also designed envelopes used on typical cultural occasions. These different handmade resources and tools were also presented on the last of the camp as exhibition. The students and teachers of the college bought useful items from this exhibition. The students can also get useful outcome out of this beyond mere learning. They also earned though a little. It was a wonderful sight to see the glowing faces of the students after this meager earning, for it had stroked a sense of confidence in them for hard work.
5 Evidence of Success: -
This practide (which was started with the motive of encouraging students towards learning remained a success. Our college encourages students especially belonging to the humble and downtrodden backgrounds) towards such handcraft skills so that they can be self-dependent when it comes to earning which will lighten the burden of their aged family members.
It also ignites a sense of honesty and hard work amongst them. Such activities help students in strengthening themselves in useful handcraft chores which will be beneficial in future. If one didn't get any govt. job, he /she can earn their bread by such handcraft skills and they would be able to fulfill the basic household needs of daily life. In this way this practice encourages students towards autonomous jobs. Because when they will work hard, this will also help in strengthening the moral standard of the students.
6 Problems encountered and resources required -
There wasn't any problem during this practice because whatever the students had spent on different things, they also get it back in the form of earning during exhibition. The college administration should hold such activities to encourage autonomous professions according to the choice or interest of the students. The alumni of college will one day play their respective part in the. society and will help the society with their due contribution.
