social responsibility initiatives At all our institutions, through Social Responsibility Initiatives (SRI) is taking responsibility for one’s own actions. It is a promise everyone should make for the society while working for the social, cultural and, ecological causes. These responsibilities are ethically binding and propose that each person acts in such a way that minimizes the adverse effect to those immediately around them. SNS-SRI believes that something more than simply imparting of knowledge and skills to the students. As an active agent of social change, SNS takes on voluntary actions in the creation of a culture of social responsibility in society through a myriad of activities that address both our own competitive interests & welfare of the society. Some of the activities are the benchmark of SNS SRI such as SANTA 365, Neighborhood school program, A smart kid program, Performance Evaluation Test, Talent Hunt & Talent Competition for identifying and recognizing the young talents from all over Tamil Nadu. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking

Dear LinkedIn Family ✨ Pleased to share my latest accomplishment I have successfully completed the NPTEL Online Certification course on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (Jul-Sep 2024). Grateful to Professor Aradhna Malik for her invaluable guidance and insights throughout the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) course. Her expertise and dedication made this learning experience both enriching and impactful. My Key Learnings on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Brief :- CSR in India: Indian companies are increasingly aligning with CSR principles, driven by legal mandates and genuine concern for societal welfare. Theories of CSR: Different theories explain CSR from legitimacy, stakeholder, and institutional perspectives, all emphasizing corporate accountability. CSR Drivers: Growing affluence, ecological sustainability, globalization, and the free flow of information are pivotal in pushing CSR forward. CSR Defined: It goes beyond profit maximization, involving accountability to stakeholders and the pursuit of broader social goals. The CSR Pyramid: Carroll’s pyramid emphasizes a hierarchy of responsibilities – economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic. Strategic Philanthropy: True corporate philanthropy aligns social good with business benefits, creating sustainable value. This course has provided me with deeper insights into the critical role CSR plays in shaping ethical business practices and contributing to societal welfare. Looking forward to applying these learnings in my professional journey! 🌍 #NPTEL #CSR #IITKharagpur #Onlinelearning #Skilldevelopment #Corporatesocialresponsibility #Professionalgrowth #XISS

A must read for every individual concerned about Indian Education System (Especially in Development Sector) Obituary to some PG courses from Tata Institute of Social Sciences Some events go unnoticed. As there were no news about them. In a storm of disruption which top management of University Grants Commission (UGC) and TISS have introduced this year a very significant change (removal of three Post Graduation Programs from TISS Tuljapur) happened without any discussion among stakeholders. The three courses I am talking about are, MA in Development Policy Planning and Practice, MA in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship MA in Natural Resource Governance and Sustainable Livelihood If you can read these names, I don't think I need to explain the impact of these courses on the life of students and society. Since decades hundreds of students got trained here and working for NGOs, CSR, government and as entrepreneurs in social sector. In recent years, TISS has introduced many self-financed courses to train people for corporates and now this step of removing these subsidized and social sectors-based programs, is going to snatch a right of higher education from 90 students each year. I request all decision makers and shareholders to take stand against this. These were wonderful courses, and a little evolution would have made these very critical for grassroot development for entire India. I am also tagging some of the alumni of these programs, please write something in protest and let us at least reach to people who can bring back these courses.

It feels good to see that if not from the fraternity itself, the arbitrary discontinuation has been recognised by a few. A few thoughts on dropping of three master's degree courses from our campus, including my own: 1. The word around the rationale was, we weren't getting appropriate students. If year after year you neglect the academic needs, fail to upgrade courses, don't bring in appropriate faculties and fail to give exposure to students that's bound to happen, so problem is internal. Administration is responsible. 2. Tiss, Tuljapur saw a considerable number of students from various marginalized sections who at least had the opportunity to get a degree in these niche inter-disciplinary areas, that door is now closed. 3. Another rationale, companies aren't coming. Another myth, being part of the campus myself our batch saw 98% placement ratio, despite not finding appropriate thematic areas, jobs were there. But we didn't recieve any guidance and support was from administration, except our sole Faculty coordinator which I hear is gone now as well. The whole placement was done by student led placement cell! 4. Finally, the overt centralisation and lack of resource mobilization for the campus. Tuljapur campus admin has only one solution, refering to the Mumbai campus for all problems. The Mumbai campus hardly pays heed to the situation there, and it was probably convenient for them to discontinue the courses. With hope that in near future, these courses would be reinstated with better resources for furthering the cause of education. Tata Institute of Social Sciences

This picture is worth thousand crores, As it consists my first two bosom friends, In the first year of college. We stayed in one room in first hostel of MPC College in 1980. All of us had come from village with first position in our school and with National Scholarship from Govt of Odisha with Rs 125/- pm, we spent 90/- for mess. Abhiram Nayak is now a senior officer in a leading Insurance company. Prabir Das is a senior advocate in Odisha High Court and human rights activist, who does advocate ship and human rights protection, free of cost. Abhiram and I were bookish and padakhu type and had enrolled for Intermediate Science. Prabir Das was very broad and a thinker, was interested in going details into various issues and was reading everything other than text books. He had secured the highest marks amongst three of us and had narrowly missed Top Ten rank in class-11th Board examination. He wanted to be an IAS officer , in fact was very keen and ambitious for that. It seems his father had encouraged him to do that . All three of our fathers were teachers in the village school. Without knowing anything, Abhiram and myself thought to prepare for engineering. It was tough without any coaching , colleges were very limited, only few NIT and handful of IIT . Both of us couldnot crack engineering, which was really tough with few seats. Abhiram continued his interest in physics and completed MSC in physics and joined a leading insurance company and has risen to a very senior position. Abhiram is an excellent Human Networker. If Any information or data or phone no of our 264 science batchmates from 2 sections required, we go to our go to man Abhiram. I migrated to Arts ( Economics) as I realised much later that English and social sciences interest me more than science. No one was there to guide us. Since we secured good marks, as a general trend, enrolled for science. Finally I became a Human Relations Manager. Prabir studied arts from start and did well with History honours in graduation and post graduation with university ranks, unfortunately he couldn’t crack IAS. Prabir became a Human Rights activist. We became by chance what we became, all retained HUMAN in profession. When we took this picture at Bhubaneswar recently after 43 years, Do you know how excited and energised, we all were, To recall and remember our hostel days, How we two bookish and little padakhu fellows, were not liking Prabir coming late from library and then was reading lot of reference books, with lights on , which was disturbing us and finally we made him to buy a table lamp so that we can sleep early without disturbance, As our classes were from 8.30 am and Arts class used to start late, But Prabir is such a loveable and intellectual person , very helpful and empathetic that we were not able to go beyond a point. From second year, we parted our room partnerships, with separate rooms. But till last 43 years, we have not parted our friendship!
