• My reason for joining Extension Work Activity:

Answer: I wanted to be the part of this activity where I can get socially connected to people in their

problem solving. To build social responsibility in myself and learning by rendering my time to society.

I wanted to experience and to bring awareness among society with regards to population .

• Please write about:

• How I started
• How I was trained – acquired skills
• How I built rapport with the others / community around.
• How I worked and the kind of work, carried out
(Write in detail with your experiences & Project related data)
Answer: I was glad that I got an opportunity to be the part of this Department of Life-long

Learning and extension. I was thrilled to participate in activities. I got socially connected with

people. I grew my communication skills. I am more confident now after participating in DLLE.

I was somewhere a helping hand for people. The seminar regarding road safety was all new to

me. I came across road safety rules. Which need to be known to everybody. Those rules are not

only for the person who drives the two wheelers or three wheelers, those are meant for

pedestrians also. Many more activities and seminars were held and all were informative and

productive.

• Please write about the difficulties you faced while conducting activities.

Answer: One of the significant challenges I encountered was maintaining activities on schedule

due to delayed information reaching us in a timely manner. This posed difficulties in coordinating

and planning, leading to missed deadlines and disrupted schedules.

• How did you overcome the difficulties?

Answer: To address this issue, we initiated efforts to streamline our communication

channels, ensuring prompt and efficient dissemination of information among all. This
 3

enhancement in communication facilitated better coordination and enabled us to execute

activities in a timelier manner.

• Please write about your expectations from extension work activities.

Answer: I was expecting more practical activities and a greater number of them in DLLE. Practical

activities, where we can apply what we learn in real life, are very helpful for learning. Doing more of

these activities will help us understand better and learn more skills. Also, having a variety of

activities more often would be great because it exposes us to different things and makes learning

more interesting

• Are your expectations fulfilled? Please brief.

Answer: Some of my expectations from DLLE were met through the activities offered, but I was

hoping for more. While I found the activities helpful, I thought there could be a greater variety and

more of them. Even though I gained value from the activities I took part in, I believe that having more

practical exercises and covering a wider range of topics would have made my learning experience even

better.

• What did you learn by Extension Activities? (gain / loss)

Answer: Participating in extension activities has significantly broadened my understanding and

prepared me to contribute to society. These activities have not only deepened my knowledge of

various topics but have also equipped me with valuable skills that are essential for making meaningful

contributions to society. Additionally, engaging in extension activities has allowed me to interact with

diverse communities and perspectives, further enriching my learning experience. Overall, these

activities have played a crucial role in shaping me into a more informed and socially responsible

individual.

• How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?

 4

Answer: Extension work helps me contribute to society by teaching me about different issues and

how I can help solve them. It gives me a chance to learn new skills and understand more about the

world around me. When I participate in extension activities, I meet people from different backgrounds

and learn from their experiences. This helps me become more aware of the needs of my community

and find ways to make a positive impact. Overall, extension work helps me become a better citizen by

giving me the tools and knowledge to help others and improve society.

• What is your suggestion?

Answer: I would like to suggest that you must conduct more programs like this. It will add value to

students’ development.

Essay Writing on social issues / Additional Information you

may wish to share with us for improvement.
Answer

Hunger and poverty

Poverty is akin to being a slave, as a person cannot achieve anything he desires. It has
various faces that alter depending on who you are, where you are, and when. It can be defined in
various ways depending on how a person feels or experiences it. Poverty is a state that no one
wants to be in, but it must be removed owing to cultural norms, natural disasters, or a lack of
adequate education. The individual who is experiencing it frequently wishes to flee. Poverty is a
call for poor people to earn enough money to eat, have access to education, have adequate shelter,
dress appropriately, and take steps to protect themselves from social and political violence . It's a
problem that goes unnoticed yet significantly impacts a person's social life. Poverty is an entirely
avoidable problem, but there are various reasons why it has persisted in the past. Poverty robs
people of their freedom, mental health, physical well-being, and security. Everyone must strive to
eradicate poverty from the country and the world, ensuring appropriate physical and mental health,
full literacy, a home for all, and other necessities for living a simple life. When a person cannot do
anything according to his will, he is said to be in poverty. Many different faces alter depending on
who you are, where you are, and time. It can be characterized in a variety of ways, depending on
how the person feels or what they have achieved. Poverty is a circumstance that no one wants to be
in, even if it is forced upon them due to a lack of experience, nature, natural disasters, or a lack of
suitable education. Humans have won it, but they prefer to stay away from it. Poverty is a call for
needed clothing and protection against social and political violence for the poor to earn enough
money to buy food, receive an education, and find a suitable place to live.This is an unseen
problem that harms a person's social life. Even though numerous factors have contributed to its
long-term persistence, poverty is a perfectly preventable problem. As a result, a person's freedom,
mental and physical well-being, and sense of security are all compromised. It is critical to bring
poverty and poverty from worldwide to work together to live everyday life, provide adequate
physical and mental health, complete education, a home for everyone, and other essential things.
