DEPARTMENT OF LIFELONG LEARNING AND EXTENSION

DESIGN OF PROJECT REPORT WRITING 2023-2024

• Acknowledgement by the Student

I extend my gratitude to my project mentor (Prof. Tejas Vijay Pednekar) and my college

principal (Dr. Debjit Sarkar) for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work on this project

and providing the necessary resources and encouragement that enabled me to do this

project. Further I would like to thank my parents and friends for helping me throughout this

project.

• My reason for joining Extension Work Activity:

Answer: I wanted to be the part of this activity where I can get socially connected to people in

their problem solving. To build social responsibility in myself and learning by rendering my time

to society. I wanted to experience and to bring awareness among society with regards to

population .

• Please write about:

• How I started

• How I was trained – acquired skills

• How I built rapport with the others / community around.

• How I worked and the kind of work, carried out

(Write in detail with your experiences & Project related data)

Answer: I was glad that I got an opportunity to be the part of this Department of

Life-long Learning and extension. I was thrilled to participate in activities. I got socially
 3

connected with people. I grew my communication skills. I am more confident now after

participating in DLLE. I was somewhere a helping hand for people. The seminar

regarding road safety was all new to me. I came across road safety rules. Which need to

be known to everybody. Those rules are not only for the person who drives the two

wheelers or three wheelers, those are meant for pedestrians also. Many more activities

and seminars were held and all were informative and productive.

• Please write about the difficulties you faced while conducting activities.

Answer: One of the significant challenges I encountered was maintaining activities on

schedule due to delayed information reaching us in a timely manner. This posed difficulties in

coordinating and planning, leading to missed deadlines and disrupted schedules.

• How did you overcome the difficulties?

Answer: To address this issue, we initiated efforts to streamline our communication channels,

ensuring prompt and efficient dissemination of information among all. This enhancement in

communication facilitated better coordination and enabled us to execute activities in a timelier

manner.

• Please write about your expectations from extension work activities.

Answer: I was expecting more practical activities and a greater number of them in DLLE.

Practical activities, where we can apply what we learn in real life, are very helpful for learning.

Doing more of these activities will help us understand better and learn more skills. Also, having

a variety of activities more often would be great because it exposes us to different things and

makes learning more interesting

• Are your expectations fulfilled? Please brief.

Answer:Some of my expectations from DLLE were met through the activities offered, but I was

hoping for more. While I found the activities helpful, I thought there could be a greater variety

and more of them. Even though I gained value from the activities I took part in, I believe that

having more practical exercises and covering a wider range of topics would have made my

learning experience even better.

• What did you learn by Extension Activities? (gain / loss)

Answer: Participating in extension activities has significantly broadened my understanding and

prepared me to contribute to society. These activities have not only deepened my knowledge of

various topics but have also equipped me with valuable skills that are essential for making

meaningful contributions to society. Additionally, engaging in extension activities has allowed

me to interact with diverse communities and perspectives, further enriching my learning

experience. Overall, these activities have played a crucial role in shaping me into a more

informed and socially responsible individual.

• How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?

Answer: Extension work helps me contribute to society by teaching me about different issues

and how I can help solve them. It gives me a chance to learn new skills and understand more

about the world around me. When I participate in extension activities, I meet people from

different backgrounds and learn from their experiences. This helps me become more aware of

the needs of my community and find ways to make a positive impact. Overall, extension work
 5

helps me become a better citizen by giving me the tools and knowledge to help others and

improve society.

• What is your suggestion?

Answer: I would like to suggest that you must conduct more programs like this. It will add

value to students’ development.

Child Welfare

Child welfare is paramount for the development and future of any society.
It encompasses ensuring children's safety, health, education, and
emotional well-being. However, numerous challenges hinder the
realization of optimal child welfare outcomes. Poverty stands as a
significant barrier, limiting access to essential resources and services for
many children. Additionally, shortcomings in social support systems and
institutional responses leave gaps in protection and intervention, leaving
some children vulnerable to abuse and neglect. Overcoming these
challenges demands collaborative efforts and comprehensive strategies
to address root causes and strengthen protective measures.

Efforts to bolster child welfare must prioritize addressing the systemic

issues that perpetuate vulnerabilities among children. This involves not
only tackling poverty but also reforming social support systems to
ensure timely and effective interventions. Furthermore, promoting a
culture of respect for children's rights and dignity is essential in
combating harmful practices and attitudes. By fostering inclusive and
supportive environments, societies can create the necessary conditions
for children to thrive and contribute positively to their communities.

In conclusion, safeguarding child welfare requires concerted action at

various levels of society. By acknowledging the challenges and
implementing targeted interventions, we can create a world where every
child receives the care, protection, and opportunities they deserve.
Investing in child welfare is not only a moral imperative but also a
strategic investment in building resilient and prosperous societies for
generations to come.
