Aditya Birla Group changing people’s life style.| Ram Krishna Sarkar, IIFT

The story goes back to around 2013-2015 while I was studying in my undergraduate college IIT Kharagpur. I was an active member of National Service Scheme. We provided assistance to the village people. Assistance came in form of giving free tuitions to village children, free medical camp, blood donation camp, skilling of village woman with works like stitching, making aware of government schemes for rural people, helping with infrastructure development. One particular suburb was Salua where people didn’t had clean access to water and we took a project of installing a handpump there to provide clean underground water. For that we raised a funding of around 15 thousand rupees mainly from the batchmates. We also took another ambitious project of improving the school infrastructure of the village Salua. There was only one school for the children and that too only one room in which whole of class one to four standard studied together. We decided to take a project to renovate the school and also gathered funds for the construction of an extra class room. Our team gathered the funding from the students and teaching communities. The college administration also helped in getting some funds sanctioned. Finally we had the required funds and gave the project a successful end.
