Bangalore is no alien to issues. Once a garden city, now a garbage city. Once a city that was admired for its beauty now that has lost its charm. The city has lost its eco-balance. To overcome these issues, Campus 2 community, an internship program was initiated by Students for Development aiming to engage students from campuses in community activities.
Students will be assigned tasks on projects related to development in various sectors including urban and rural development, water and power supply, sanitation and waste management, women and child issues, and more. Students are expected to work on ground to understand the issues at their very depth before attempting to address the problems on hand. This will create the foundation for informed and experienced young leadership which our country needs. It will also re confirm the idea of “Student’s Power is Nation’s Power”
Phases of the internship
• Phase 1- one day orientation programme for basic knowledge on the work flow.
• Phase 2- 12 days of literature study to understand the ground reality. Students will also interact with mentors, various stake holders. Information on existing laws and departments related to the topics are to be studied and understood. A template is to be prepared by the students and discussed.
• Phase 3- students are expected to present their views on the background studies on the issue.
• Phase 4- 30 days of continuous work on ground. Documentation of the findings are done in this phase. Students are expected to come up with reports every alternative week about their findings. They are free to branch out on sub topics of the theme as they proceed.
• Phase 5- last phase includes submission of all the documents and findings. They are expected to present their work and suggest alternatives for the same.
