‘Parivartan’ – The Slum Education Programme
25-11-18
‘Parivartan’ – The Slum Education Programme of PG Management at Institute of Technology & Science, Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad organized activity based on old fashioned learning, but would include a path breaking activity session.
The first session of the day was to be on minerals and energy resources. As is normal for Parivartan, Prof Lokesh Upreti initiated the session by introducing the area and inviting the children to put forward their ideas on this. Ankit took over the class responsibilities by discussing the different types of minerals and ores, and why they are important. In between, Jhalak pitched in to explain the difference between minerals and ores, and encouraging the students to ask questions. Ankit then resumed, moving to the areas of conventional and non-conventional energy sources. He took care to point out the pitfalls of conventional energy resources.
Then Jhalak moved into her ‘teacher with a mission’ mode to discuss something totally radical – how to use memory techniques effectively. She promptly wrote an impromptu list of random items on the board and asked the children to memorize them. When asked a little later to recite the list in its entirety, the children naturally had some difficulty. Jhalak then proceeded to convince them how memory techniques could be a big help here. The children were excited, and needed no additional prodding for the next exercise.
But all good things come to an end. As the shadows lengthened, a quiz was held by Ankit to revise the earlier session. Those who answered correctly received toffees.
Finally things came to a close with the distribution of ‘Britannia Tiger Kreemz’ biscuits and ‘Parle Orange Bite’ toffees. 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.

‘Parivartan’ – The Slum Education Programme
18-11-18
Every month, one day at Parivartan is reserved exclusively for games with a view to provide the children a diversion from the regular classes while also inculcating virtues like team work and healthy competition. Today was such a day. With winter gradually setting in, it was somehow appropriate that Game Day had arrived.
Prof. Lokesh Upreti started off the day by asking the children why games are an important part of our life. Some responses came in the form of fair play and competitiveness. Prof. Upreti added elements like teamwork, exemplifying it through sports like football and cricket.
The game that the volunteers had chosen for the day was the ‘Freeze Dance’. The rules were very simple. The children had to dance when the music was played. As soon as it was switched off, they had to freeze like statues. Those who failed to do so would be eliminated.
For the purpose of the game the children were divided into two groups for older and smaller children, each group being arranged in a circle. The routine was repeated until two winners were identified from each group. Since the game involved dancing, it goes without saying that there was no end to the excitement and enthusiasm. While everybody readily joined in the conduct of the games, special mention needs to be made of Nagesh and Sachin, the former playing the music, and both taking the lead in controlling the swaying crowds.
The 4 winners received a "tennis racket set" each. The day concluded with the distribution of "Bikano Peanuts" and "Ravalgon Pan Pasand" 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.
