2nd of September, 2018 activity of ‘Parivartan’- the Slum Education Programme, a CSR initiative of ITS, Ghaziabad, dawned as an auspicious day, as preparations were on all around for the celebration of Janamashtami. The gloomy rainy weather seemed to reinforce this point.

The volunteers for the day were Hitesh Sharma, Abhishek Dwivedi, Bhavendra Singh Kaurav, Kalyani and Megha Nigam.

Hitesh started the day with a discussion on Vedic maths. He explained the origin of this special approach to solving mathematical problems, and used sums to show how it can be used to simplify big calculations. In order to reinforce the learning, the children were asked to come to the board to solve the examples.

In the second session of the day, Abhishek decided to explain the origin and significance of Janamashtami. He told the children the story of how Lord Krishna was born to his parents in captivity, and how he went on to vanquish his evil uncle Kansa. An impromptu quiz was held to test the knowledge acquired by the children.

The day ended with the distribution of "Bikano Namkeen" and "Mango 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.
