ASB’s CSR Club activities ‘NGO-GOONJ Visit’ & ‘Poster Presentation Competition’ showcase students’ social sensitivity

Stemming out of the basic aim to sensitizing the youth towards the social needs and help them become more responsible and empathetic citizens, students of BBA and BCA courses at Asian School of Business (ASB) who were a part of the institute’s CSR Club, went on a deeply inspiring visit to the GOONJ – the non-governmental organisation headquartered in Delhi, India which undertakes disaster relief, humanitarian aid and community development in parts of 23 states across India, especially focusing on clothing as a basic but unaddressed need. Thereafter, the students also participated in a “Poster Presentation Competition” as an expression of their sensitivity and concern for social and global issues and spreading the message “Giving back to society”. Keeping this theme in mind, a visit for ASB’s students was organized to GOONJ’s processing unit in Sarita Vihar on 6th February, 2019. It was a first-hand experience for them to witness the process of effective utilization of the so-called waste. It was an inspiring experience for them to see the segregation units and the way each piece of the products was being used till its last use and made into a valuable commodity that could be consumed as a resource by the needy. It was an inspiring learning experience for the students as they shared multiple ideas through poster presentation which they could employ to contribute to the society. Ninety minutes were given to make a poster and one hour was kept for the presentations. In each poster presentation the students shared various ideas intelligently and creatively. The students enjoyed the event thoroughly and the winners were given the certificates. Overall, the event served as a platform to make students sensitive towards various social issues.  Read More
