17. Community services: Almost all the department of Kirti College are active in community services. Some of the noteworthy programmes conducted this year by NSS department are as follows:
• Peace Rally was conducted on 6th August by Mumbai Sarvodaya
Mandal, which began at Azad Maidan. Several NSS units all over
Mumbai attended this rally. Together with millions of people all over the
world our volunteers pledged that there would never be another
Nagasaki and Hiroshima who were victims of the nuclear bomb. The
purpose of this rally was to make nations say no to nuclear weapons
and to maintain peace in this world.
• A unique activity of our unit this year was respectfully disposing
national flags that are thrown on roads and other places after the
Independence Day celebration. Flags were disposed into the seas
behind Kirti College at the hands of the street children. These children
also took part in Ganapati visarjan along with our volunteers.
• Under the Red ribbon Activity, besides attending the inaugural
function of Red Ribbon Club at DTSS College, our students performed
a two Act play on AIDS at MSACS, Thane. In addition our volunteers
participated in a Quiz competition on AIDS awareness and won the 1 st
Prize. Since our college is located on the beach front, our volunteers, Kirti College, AQAR Report-2007-2008 NAAC Accredited “A Grade” 44
on weekends, spread awareness of AIDS through posters, slogans
and street plays among people, especially couples, who visit the
beach. On December 1, which is world AIDS Day, volunteers
conducted a rally displaying posters around Shivaji Park Area.
• Under the Consumer Rights Activity, in association with Mumbai
Grahak panchayat, our college attended various meetings on
consumer rights and awareness in various colleges of Mumbai City
zone. Students were aware on various rights of a consumer, how to
recognize duplicate goods especially in pharmaceutical and health
products. In addition they were also given and shown the difference
between genuine and adulterated food products like tea, milk, rava,
dalchini etc. and how to detect adulteration. One session involved the
issue of wrong advertising.
• Along with the NGO Human Rights and Law, our volunteers helped in
making the women aware on the rights and laws for protection of
abused women. In response to our awareness programme about 7
women visited the NGO to report abuse. In addition they also
conducted a survey on the facilities given to physically challenged
people in apartment buildings.
• The Sarva Shikshan Abhiyan is a project in which our volunteers
conducted a survey on children who are not pursuing education. The
main aim of this project undertaken by BMC is to make every child
educated. Our volunteers surveyed at least 30000 families in the Kirti College, AQAR Report-2007-2008 NAAC Accredited “A Grade” 45
course of one month and have delivered their details to the BMC. In
response to this survey, some parents were convinced and have sent
their children back to school.
• National Mazdoor Railway Union (NMRU) and State Blood
Transfusion Council along with the NSS Unit of Mumbai
University conducted a blood donation camp at various railway
stations. Our volunteers were engaged for nearly 4 months assisting
these organizations at Dadar Central Railway station to collect blood.
They assisted the organization by filling forms of donors, delivering first
aid, making certificates for donors along with donor cards, assisting
doctors checking haemoglobin, checking blood groups, making railway
passengers aware about blood donation. We thank Mr. Vinay Shetty
for his continuous support whenever we required blood This was a
major drive in which huge mounts of blood were collected over a
period 6 months.
• In addition in our college we had two blood donation camps, one in
the month of July and then in the month of November.
• Pulse Polio activity is a major activity of our volunteers. Our
volunteers spread awareness to the general public by going door-to-
door inviting people with children less than 5years to give their children
polio drops. They inform the public about the venue of the pulse polio
and the importance of polio doses for their children. Our volunteers are
also trained to give polio doses. Kirti College, AQAR Report-2007-2008 NAAC Accredited “A Grade” 46
• A medical check up was also conducted during our festival UDAANT
in which teaching and non teaching staff underwent ECG, Lung
functioning, Bone density, Blood pressure, diabetes, neuropathy tests.
• Volunteers took part in a human chain to make people aware on
Cancer and palliative care on 6th October 2007, which is World
hospice and Palliative Care day. Students created a chain from
Hindamata at Dadar to the Parel flyover. The Palliative care Unit of
Tata Memorial hospital organised this programme. Palliative care
involves taking care of physical, emotional, practical, spiritual needs of
a patient in his advanced stages of cancer. This is another area
where the public need to be made aware on the needs of terminal
cancer patients. We intend to make this one of our permanent activities
in the future.
• Another unique programme we were most fortunate to take part in was
the cleaning of the Kanheri Caves. This place was littered with
plastic bottles and other waste left by visitors. Our volunteers along
with children form a neighbouring school were taken by bus to Kanheri
Caves and using gloves and some tools our volunteers cleaned the
region as much as they could. Our country needs to be educated in the
preservation of historical monuments in a big way.
• ‘Vasundara Bachao’ was an activity organized by Yuvak Biradiri,
which highlighted the need to save our planet Earth from destruction
through pollution, environmental degradation, etc. Various colleges Kirti College, AQAR Report-2007-2008 NAAC Accredited “A Grade” 47
made presentations on how to protect the earth from such man made
malaise.
• One annual activity our unit is involved is the Beach cleaning activity
organized by the Naval Coastguards. This is an international activity
in which at least hundred of our volunteers were involve. They
collected many bags of litter in the form of plastic, thermacol,
wrappers, broken remains of Ganapati idols, and other waste material.
• Mumbai Helpline was another NGO with whom our volunteers
assisted in a project of CLEANUP MUMBAI. Volunteers had to map
places for adoption in terms of beautification of areas by way of making
gardens, installing fountains, inserting dustbins etc. They also had to
move with marshals, people appointed by BMC, and make people
aware about cleanliness through street plays, displaying banners and
posters, and advise people on how to maintain cleanliness.
• As usual our volunteers assisted the police in maintaining order and
discipline around Shivaji Park area during the various days of
Ganapati immersion.
• The Rakhi and Flag selling activities are conducted for NGO’s every
year to support physically and mentally challenged children and
hopefully make their lives a little more happier.
• Our volunteers also participated in the closing ceremony of the
sesquicentennial (150 years) celebrations of Mumbai University in

• Hamaari Laadli
One of the major activities undertaken by our volunteers was the LAADLI
campaign. Population first is an NGO, which organizes this campaign
with which our volunteers have been associated with for the past three
years. It is an organization that fights against the exploitation of women.
