• Acknowledgement by the Student

I extend my gratitude to my project mentor (Prof. Tejas Pednekar) and my college principal (Dr. Debajit

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. (Please

mention the kind of support provided by DLLE Unit, Principal & Extension teachers, work place

staff, community and others.)

• 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 Lifelong Learning

and extension. I was thrilled to participate in activities. I got socially 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 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.

Answer: Climate Change: A Global Crisis Demanding Immediate Action

Introduction:
Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of our time, threatening the very
fabric of our planet and the well-being of present and future generations. With rising temperatures,
extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and dwindling biodiversity, the evidence of climate change is
undeniable. This global crisis demands urgent and concerted action from individuals, communities,
governments, and businesses worldwide.

The Urgency of Climate Action:

The urgency of addressing climate change cannot be overstated. Every fraction of a degree increase in
global temperatures exacerbates the impacts, leading to irreversible damage to ecosystems and human
societies. The recent wildfires, hurricanes, heatwaves, and floods witnessed across the globe serve as
stark reminders of the consequences of inaction. Furthermore, marginalized communities and
vulnerable populations bear the brunt of these impacts, widening existing inequalities.

Environmental Degradation:
Climate change is intricately linked with environmental degradation, with deforestation, pollution, and
loss of biodiversity amplifying its effects. The destruction of forests not only reduces carbon sinks but
also threatens the habitats of countless species. Moreover, pollution from fossil fuels and industrial
activities not only contributes to climate change but also leads to respiratory illnesses and premature
deaths, particularly in densely populated urban areas.

Economic Implications:
The economic ramifications of climate change are profound, affecting industries, livelihoods, and global
markets. Extreme weather events disrupt agricultural production, leading to food shortages and price
volatility. Coastal communities face the threat of inundation, causing damage to infrastructure and
displacing populations. Moreover, the transition to a low-carbon economy presents both challenges and
opportunities, requiring investments in renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, and green
technologies.

Social Justice and Equity:

Addressing climate change is not just an environmental issue but also a matter of social justice and
equity. The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect marginalized communities, including
indigenous peoples, low-income households, and communities of color. These communities often lack
the resources and infrastructure to adapt to climate change and are least responsible for its causes.
Therefore, climate action must prioritize equity, ensuring that the burden of mitigation and adaptation is
shared fairly.

International Cooperation:
Climate change is a global challenge that transcends borders and requires collective action at the
international level. The Paris Agreement, despite its limitations, represents a crucial step towards global
cooperation in combating climate change. However, fulfilling the commitments of the Paris Agreement
requires greater ambition and commitment from all nations. Developed countries must fulfill their
pledges to provide climate finance and support technology transfer to developing countries, enabling
them to transition to sustainable development pathways.

Individual and Collective Responsibility:

While governments and policymakers play a central role in addressing climate change, individuals also
have a responsibility to contribute to solutions. From reducing personal carbon footprints to advocating
for policy change and supporting sustainable businesses, every action counts in the fight against climate
change. Additionally, collective action through grassroots movements, community initiatives, and civil
society organizations can exert pressure on governments and corporations to prioritize climate action.

Conclusion:
Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity and the planet we call home. The window of
opportunity to mitigate its worst impacts is rapidly closing, necessitating immediate and decisive action.
By recognizing the urgency of the crisis, promoting environmental stewardship, prioritizing social justice,
fostering international cooperation, and embracing individual and collective responsibility, we can work
towards a sustainable and resilient future for all. The time to act is now
