‘Parivartan’ – The Slum Education Programme of I.T.S Ghaziabad organized activity on 9th December, 2018. Winter has well and truly arrived. The mellow rays of the sun, the subdued surroundings and the healthful nutriments – all are conducive to some serious study work. And that is just what we had in mind at Parivartan this Sunday.

The first session related to the need for the conservation of energy. First time Parivartan volunteer Upasana had rightly chosen this to raise the awareness of the children on a burning issue. In a way it was a continuation of the lesson on energy sources dealt with a fortnight ago. Upasana explained to the kids how energy sources can be classified according to whether it is renewable or non-renewable. She stressed on the need for switching to the former, pointing out why the traditional sources are not going to last forever, apart from their tendency to add to existing pollution levels.

Abhishek took the center stage in the second session. He had selected the rather unique topic of the leading forts in India. History captivates us and forts were an important element of the defenses organised by the rulers or yore. Abhishek spoke about six well known forts – the Golden Fort at Jaisalmer, the Amber Fort, the Red Fort, the Mehrangarh Fort, the Purana Quila at Delhi and the Agra Fort. He mentioned details like the year of construction and the monarch under whom the fort was made, making sure that the children were noting and remembering the details.
Finally the day drew to a close with the distribution of ‘Bikano Aloo Bhujia’, and ‘Parle Orange Bite’ toffees among the children. Dr. Indraneel Mandal accompanied and motivated the student volunteers. Prof. Lokesh Upreti guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
