NSS students visit to Jeevan Jyothi Ashram in Bhubaneswar

Fifty first year undergraduate NSS student volunteers of IIT Bhubaneswar, accompanied by EAA coordinators, visited Jeevan Jyothi Ashram on October 19th, 2019 as part of their National Service Scheme (NSS) activity. The Jeevan Jyothi Ashram run by the Jeevan Jyothi Charitable Trust is a Children and Oldage home. The Ashram provides support and attends to the developmental needs of 75 underprivileged children. It also provides care and supports 15 senior citizens. The students undertook this visit as part of their EAA requirements and spent quality time with the children and the elderly. The students entertained the children through games and music programs and also distributed gifts such as stationery items and toys. Also to support the ashram with its day to day needs, grocery items were also distributed by the IIT team.

The EAA team is thankful to Prof. R. V. Rajakumar, Director, IIT Bhubaneswar for his support and encouragement.
