The afternoon of 7th October, 2018 started for the children at Parivartan with a somewhat unusual question – who amongst them was the most qualified to be a good leader? That set the tone for the rest of the day – an impromptu session on leadership, followed by a discussion on air and water.

The day started with an argument among some of the boys in the learners’ group: Sabse bada leader kaun? As if on cue, Aprajita, Samina and Abhishek jumped into the interaction to ask the children what should be the qualities of a good leader. Up went the hands, as the kids put forward their ideas. These were clarified by the student members of Parivartan.

Prof. Lokesh Upreti joined in to demonstrate the importance of democracy and how the rulers are chosen within such a system by conducting a small role play activity.

The next part of the programme was more prosaic: the air and water around us. Abhishek discussed with the children about the air and its components. Similarly there was an interaction on the water cycle and the different forms of water.

Prof. Upreti referred to the need for rain water harvesting. Amazingly some of the children were aware of this. The day ended with the distribution of "Krack-jack Biscuits" and "eclairs 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.
