BEST PRACTICES OF SCHE

 I. Title: Students Social Responsibility through Extension Services 

Objectives:

1.  To help the students to be agents of social change.
2.  To inculcate in students a sense of fraternity, equality, and unity.
3.  To develop civic sense among students and mould them to be socially committed citizens.
4.  To enhance students' holistic growth through practical learning.

The Practice:

SCHE extends humanitarian/service related social engagements through various clubs to allow students to take up active role in their holistic growth and carry out social responsibilities. Such initiatives include:

(i) Bread for the hungry: 

This is an initiative started in 2019, to feed the homeless, the working poor families and the elderly, in and around Dimapur. This is done every semester and motivates the students to give voluntarily, and instil in them a heart for charity. Every member of the college comes together to share at least one packed meal prepared from home and distribute to those in need. This collective effort is a small step to alleviate hunger and bring the community closer. 

 (ii) Blood Donation: 

 The college conducts annual blood donation camp in collaboration with the District civil hospital to conscientize the students about the health benefits of donating blood regularly. Doctors are invited to speak on the occasion and they encourage the students to know the role they can play in saving lives. 

 (iii) Visitation Programmes: 

 The institution organises visitation programmes through clubs and departments. Bosco, NSS, and Red Ribbon Clubs regularly visit orphanages, jails, old age homes, hospitals and rehabilitation centres. Charitable Donors, a voluntary initiative by students, engage in charitable works like clothes donation, feeding the poor, etc.
