Club Activities
Social Club and Community Service Club
By Samvedana
The students of Samvedana have maintained a long-term association with Carter Clean-up for the purpose of beach cleanup drive. The purpose of these events is to contribute to keep the environment clean and remove the wastes that degrade urban beaches. The students who volunteered from SAMSOE meet up with the Carter clean up team and are briefed about the harmful materials found on the beach, and the amount of time each takes to decompose - most of them remaining in the environment infinitely. This is done to increase awareness about the harm that is inadvertently caused to marine life.

Samvedana X Independence Day 2022 - Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav
Samvedana, the social service club of SAMSOE, NMIMS held an event on the occasion of the 76th Independence Day on 13th August 2022. The purpose of the event was to instill a feeling of patriotism among the students and faculty.

Khwaishein
Samvedana, the social club of SAMSOE, NMIMS held an event called ‘Khwaishein’ on the occasion of ‘Children’s Day’ on the 13th November, 2022. The event's purpose was to bring smiles to the faces of orphaned children.
The preparations started at least five days prior to the event, after meeting and collaborating with two charities, Snehasadan & Missionaries of Charity. After putting together a list of items according to the specifications given by both the organizations, the committee members set up a photo booth to spread the word about the noble cause. Boxes were placed behind the photo booth, and by the 13th they were filled with all sorts of gifts. These gifts were then sorted into boxes and gift-wrapped.
Apart from this, a few days before the event, the committee had also circulated a form requesting SAMSOE students to participate in the charity drive and volunteer to visit the orphanages. The students who signed up as volunteers were taken with the committee for the donation drive.
On the day of the event, two groups were formed, of which one went to Snehasadan & the other went to Missionaries of Charity.
At Snehasadan, we started the donation campaign by entertaining the children by playing games with them and distributing the various gifts. Later, the second group visited Missionaries of Charity, a facility for children with special needs. Despite their policy prohibiting visitors from physically meeting the children, they made an exception for us and permitted five of our students to visit the charity to give gifts to the children.
In its entirety, the Samvedana event was a wonderful experience.
