Social Iniative

Social Initiatives at Academic

At Academic, social responsibility is a core value that shapes both our teaching and actions. We aim to develop leaders who are not only business-savvy but also socially conscious, capable of addressing the challenges at the intersection of management and society.

Roshni Rai School

The Roshni Rai School is a testament to Academic’s commitment to education for all. It provides free education to children from underprivileged backgrounds, motivating parents in slum areas to send their children to school. Students receive educational kits, including books, stationery, uniforms, and midday snacks. The school also promotes holistic development through activities like debates, music, crafts, skits, and excursions. Hygiene, environmental awareness, and moral education are integral to the programme, ensuring a well-rounded foundation. Students are encouraged to pursue higher education at Academic College, which offers diverse courses in law, liberal arts, and design, among others.

ICHHA Club

ICHHA, which stands for “Academic Community Harbouring Hopes for All,” is a volunteer-driven initiative that fosters a culture of giving back. This club enables students to work on impactful projects, including collaborations with NGOs, management-based solutions for the unorganised sector, and community engagement programmes. Past initiatives include hygiene training for women in slums and practical exposure for students through NGO partnerships. ICHHA instils in students the importance of empathy and active contribution to society.

Cleanliness Drive

In support of the Swachh Bharat Mission, a campus-wide cleanliness drive was organised to promote environmental awareness. The initiative focused on eliminating single-use plastics (SUPs) and educating students about effective plastic waste management, reinforcing the importance of sustainable living.

Blood Donation Camps

Organised annually, blood donation camps at Academic are a step towards saving lives. Students, with guidance from faculty, collaborate with organisations like the Red Cross Society to raise awareness and encourage participation. From scheduling the event to promoting it on campus and social media, students take the lead in this life-saving initiative.

Diwali Charity Gala

The Diwali Charity Gala embraced the true spirit of the festival by hosting a fundraising event. The gala featured stalls with games, food, and handmade Diwali decorations, encouraging students to participate in acts of kindness and spreading joy through charitable efforts.

Tree Plantation Drive

As part of the Prema Tharu (Tree of Love) initiative by the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation, students participated in a tree plantation drive. The activity aimed to instil environmental consciousness and promote sustainable practices, fostering a sense of responsibility towards nature.

Distribution Drive

In a heartfelt effort, 50 pairs of brand-new shoes, socks, and chocolates were distributed to children from a local NGO. The drive, funded by online donations and fundraising efforts led by the NGO Club students, highlighted the importance of generosity and social responsibility.

Eco-Conscious Expo

The Eco-Conscious Expo showcased handmade products, upcycled creations, and posters advocating sustainability. The event strengthened partnerships with local NGOs and promoted eco-friendly practices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inspiring students to adopt a responsible lifestyle.

Educational Outreach at Vikas Vishranti Charitable Trust

Students from the NGO Club made weekly visits to the Vikas Vishranti Charitable Trust in Aligarh to mentor and teach children. This ongoing outreach programme aimed to foster educational growth and create a supportive learning environment, empowering the next generation.
