Institute of Technology & Science, Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad with winter gradually drawing to a close, spring seems to be beckoning. In a season of new beginnings, it was appropriate to introduce the children something that was new for them. Parivartan decided to bring them to the world of newspapers.For the first time Ashish donned the role of teacher at Parivartan. He started with the familiar yet interesting subject of newspapers. Tracing out the history of printed news, he referred to its origins in the USA, and the role of James Augustus Hickey. Coming to the case of India, he spoke how the vernacular languages were part of some of the initial newspapers here. He went on to lay down the major publications, both in Hindi and English, and their reach in different parts of the country. The children valiantly tried to keep pace, showing in the process that they were also familiar with some of the common broadsheets.

As games are organised at Parivartan once each month, this time the learners were provided with old newspapers, and were asked to use them to make something creative. The idea was to demonstrate how time and resources could be employed for making something that could be gainfully utilized. Naturally the children joined in with expected gusto, and assorted boats, planes, caps, flowers, etc were ready in no time. Four of the best creations with appropriate explanations were awarded prizes in the form a pack of ‘Cadbury’s Creations’.A quiz was then held to test all that the children learnt during the day. Those who answered correctly were given a pack of ‘Bikano Peanuts’.The day drew to a close with the distribution of ‘Parle Tiger Kreemz’ biscuits 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.
