FROM CHAIRPERSON’S DESK

Dear Teachers, Students and Staff,

Foremost I would like to extend my warm-hearted congratulations to everyone for their commendable work which has made us to secure the 16th position in the NIRF rankings. I would further like to urge all to move ahead with similar coordination, determination, focus and teamwork to reach newer heights. The aim is not just to reach the top position in India but also to be counted within renowned Colleges at a global level. Let us all synchronize our rhythm and buckle up for the same.

I would also like to remind you to stay safe during the current challenging times. Until the cure is found, taking precautionary steps is the key to one’s good health. ‘Prevention is always better than Cure’. COVID-19 has changed our approach to education and has pushed us to adapt accordingly. ‘Verily with Hardships comes Ease’ and indeed, these tough times have helped us prepare better for the upcoming technological advances. Instead of focusing on the uncertainties, we must embrace this change and gear up for facing the challenges. This will also help us in devising the methodologies that will be useful in the long run. Digitisation of the Education System, which might have taken longer to get into the mainstream has now become the New Normal. The Future is here and it’s here to stay.

Wishing you all Good Luck.

At Enactus Gargi, we recognise, encourage and celebrate one another and collaborate to ensure human progress through entrepreneurial action. By raising each other up and channelling the power of collaboration, students take up community outreach projects to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world.

Established in 2014, Enactus Gargi is now a team of 65 undergraduates successfully running 3 projects: Rachna, Aagah and Neev.

We began the academic session 2019-20 with the launch of our campaign #Power Of Us, which aimed at igniting the spirit of entrepreneurship, teamwork, and mutual support in young women. We also competed in Enactus National Symposium and Competition, held in July, 2019.

We expanded project Rachna by collaborating with new communities and organizing cloth donation drives in college. Under Project Rachna, we are working towards providing entrepreneurial opportunities to marginalized women in Haryana and Delhi. Through this we have impacted 2700 lives.

Throughout the year, we organized various workshops in collaboration with other organizations like CMCA (Equality and Social Justice, Freedom of Expression) and Green sphere, IGDTUW (Menstrual hygiene and Beating Plastic Pollution) to sensitize students about various social and environmental issues.

Under Project Aagah, we have conducted various sensitization workshops and seminars at Masoom Zindagi NGO, pertaining to issues regarding Gender and Equality. These workshops aim at raising awareness amongst various at- risk communities on socially pertinent issues.

We have also set up stalls at various corporates like American express; colleges like DTU, SGGSCC, Dilli Haat and other local markets.

The Chemical Society, Rasgandhayan, always endeavors to supplement classroom teaching with invited lectures, academic events and fun activities interspersed with educational visits for the holistic development of students. This year the society worked diligently with passion to bring forth some memorable events. Students contributed as equals in the planning and execution of various events, which inculcated in them a feeling of responsibility for the departmental society.

The society started formally by hosting its inaugural lecture on The Future of Chemistry: Research, Education and Society by Padmashree Prof. Swaminathan Sivaram, an honorary professor at IISER, Pune on August 31, 2019. The lecture was very well received by the audience which included science students across all departments, faculty members from DU colleges and other universities and superannuated teachers of Gargi. Each one sitting in the packed-seminar hall was mesmerized by the speaker's deep understanding of the subject, his command on language and his humility as a person.

Celebrating the year 2020 as the centenary of H-bonding, the society invited Prof. A. Ramanan from IIT Delhi to deliver the annual Dr. C. K. Khurana memorial lecture on February 12, 2020. He spoke on Molecular Rangolis - Chemical Insights into Crystallization and highlighted the fine nuances of hydrogen bonding and crystallization, which was very well appreciated. The daughters of Dr. Khurana joined us (after 26 years) on this day which made the lecture even more special, bringing along fond memories.

The society meticulously put forth a highlight event this year - An Inter-College Paper and Poster Presentation competition on March 3, 2020. A total of sixteen student teams from various DU colleges (ARSD, ANDC, DBC, Gargi, Maitreyi, MH, Ramjas, St. Stephen's, SVC, ZHDC) presented the project work done by them at undergraduate level. We were privileged to have Prof. J. M. Khurana and Dr. Indu Tucker Sidhwani to judge the oral paper presentations, while the poster presentations were judged by Dr. Vandna Luthra and Dr. Ritika Chauhan. The competition received tremendous appreciation from all students and teachers for giving a platform to undergraduate students to present their work before peer group and faculty members. The first prize in the Oral Presentation Competition was bagged by Gargi College.

Celebrating the World Ozone & World Bio-fuel Day, Doodle Art and Creative Writing Competitions were organized. The department also celebrated the National Sports Day by having a Throw-Ball match between teachers Vs students. Teacher's Day was celebrated with great joy and fervour. On Deepawali, the society came up with a new idea of lighting lamps to propagate the light of knowledge from teachers to students and further, to the support staff. The idea was to bring the whole department together on this occasion. Everyone enjoyed the Talent-Hunt competition that followed, where girls could be seen showcasing their various latent talents. The society also organized a quiz-based event ‘Riddle-it-out.

Two educational visits were conducted in this academic session - first visit to Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), Chandigarh from December 15-17, 2019 that gave the students an exposure into the interesting world of forensics as an alternative career prospect. Second visit to the Glass Blowing Facility at IIT Delhi on February 15, 2020, enthralled the students as they saw the fabrication of glassware of various types. Both trips proved to be eye-openers and received amazing feedback.

The Department of Chemistry also coordinated, at the college level, the ACT-CONTECH test (a National level test of Chemistry organized by TIFR) for 182 students across all science departments of the college. Gargi College ranked among the top five colleges across India to have had an overwhelming participation in this test, for which the college and the coordinators received appreciation from the Association of Chemistry Teachers, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR, Mumbai.

Students of the department have won several prizes in intra and inter-college competitions. The Chemistry students' performance in sports and NCC in the current session was commendable. A notable achievement is the Second Position in March Past on annual sports day where the girls displayed disciplined and synchronous performance. This is the 4th year in a row when the department has bagged a position in Top 3 in the annual march past.

The theme for fresher's was Phoenix the fire within, shown in forms of installation and human anatomy. The theme gave room to multiplicity in meaning in terms of empowerment and the insatiable urge to learn. The open ended theme gave the society the platform to demonstrate artistic expression with a literal installation of a Phoenix and the personification shown with the help of a volcanic human bust, showing that fiery passions are within all of us.

On 28th August an in house acrylic skill development workshop was held where the team learned about stainless painting, gradient painting, perception and depth.

It gave way artists to showcase and explore various art styles and mediums like watercolor, acrylic, sketching, posters, digital painting, craft and installations. It was a wonderful opportunity for people to have a little glimpse of all the work and effort that goes into making an art piece, interact with the artworks and have a conversation with the said artists.

Hues curated a walk-in art studio like exhibition. The team participated at IIT Delhi and won 1st Position at Inked souls, 2nd in live sketching and 1st at Charcoal sketching.

The theme for Reverie's art production was "La Expresión: Hues of Euphoria, circling around freedom of expression. As a fine art's society, we focused on Freedom of art and creative license. The two main installations demonstrated caging of expression and the fight we put to overcome impediment caused by the chains. Resistance was expressed with a mind and a cage and walls with cracks showing the first step of overcoming the oppression.

“Words have been spoken long before us, and will be after us”

-Lal Singh Dil

Upstage, the Dramatics Society of Gargi College has always stood for the collectiveness of art and its explorations. The society tends to be the stepping stone in using art for social conciseness and changing the purview around and within. Upstage, has always encouraged original thinking and experimentation as we believe that authenticity will essentially contribute to the evolution of art within us and beyond us.

This year, the team had the honour of working with Mr. Parnab Mukherjee as our creative mentor. We had the good fortune of being directed by him for the play sticks/styx: unlike, uncomment, unshare. The production had three public shows at Mandi House post which it became a tool of resistance and expression, as we took it to various demonstrations and protests such as Arts Faculty North Campus, Shaheen Bagh and the college demonstration. We also produced a documentation outreach capturing the essence of the play in stills and self-written pieces by the team, all curated and guided by Mr. Parnab Mukherjee.

ENABLING UNIT

Teacher Convenor: Dr. Monica Gupta

The Enabling Unit of Gargi College aims to assist the Students with Special Needs. It empowers the students to be and to feel equal at all times. The unit holds various discussions, seminars, movie screenings and workshops to make all students understand that everyone must feel comfortable in their own skin. This year’s theme for the society was ‘Questioning Ableism’ , in which we not only aimed to cater to the students with different needs but also with the student body at large , the unit felt each and every being is different so each person must not be treated differently if she needs different resources to cater to her needs. The idea being that we all are same with different abilities but that mustn’t interfere with our abilities to support each other. The goal of The Enabling Unit is that we aim to sensitise the all the students to look at each and every person in the world with a feeling of sisterhood and equality not with prejudice and pity. Thus fostering the college environment to be a heterogeneous society standing for homogeneity at large i.e. being all for one and one for all.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CELL

Teacher Convenor: Dr. Sweta Mishra

The equal opportunity cell of the college is a multidisciplinary group which undertakes many activities with the objective of sensitizing the students regarding the challenges faced by the disadvantaged groups of the society. The cell addresses the issues of access and equality and tries to break the stereotypes attached to reservations and its policies. Keeping the above objective in mind, the EOC cell conducts sessions, lectures and competitions and provides a platform to make affirmative action towards the suppressed section of the society a matter of discussion among the students. The EOC cell of the college is a step towards stabilising and equalising the society with a context to the future prospects of upcoming and on-going policies.

Page 106

The session was engaging, thought provoking and enjoyable. The audience raised several questions about the contemporary Indian social realities and how these would shape the destiny of our country in the years to come.

The cell also empowered the differently abled students by providing them an enabling environment to help them overcome their problems and realise their potentials.

GANDHI STUDY CIRCLE

Teacher Convenor: Dr. Sweta Mishra

The circle’s activities commemorated with Gandhi Jayanti celebrations on 27.8.2019 by a talk by Prof. Salil Mishra, PVC, Ambedkar University on "Gandhi in Today's World". He argued that it is today that Gandhi is much more relevant than ever before in history for two reasons. Firstly, wars, contestations & strife till the twentieth century were centred around a conflict of interests. This has changed since conflicts in contemporary times are located more & more around ideologies, principles & other ideas. Secondly, there has been an unprecedented consolidation of state power in recent years making nation- states more powerful today than in any other time of history. Paradoxically this has been coupled by greater power to the citizenry as well emanating from affirmation of people’s democratic rights. This makes state- people conflicts harder to resolve. Both these reasons make Gandhi indispensable in contemporary times.

This was followed by intra-college poster making & slogan writing competition on 8th November, 2019. The study circle had its Annual Fest on 5th March, 2020. The Fest comprised of a talk on “Mahatma Gandhi: Satya aur Satyagraha” which was delivered by Prof. Girishwar Misra, former VC, Mahatma Gandhi Antarashtriya Vishvavidyalay, Wardha. He emphasised that remembering Gandhi is more valuable today than ever before as our world with its ecological crisis, personal strife & marketisation of society is more turbulent than ever before. His address focused on understanding the concepts of Satya & Satyagraha as practiced by Gandhi.

As part of the Fest, inter-college events like Debate, Poster Making and Slogan Writing competitions were organised. The students debated on the topic “Satyagraha as a political strategy is unworkable in today’s corrupt and violent society”. They made poster presentations and wrote slogans on the topic “Gandhi: Satya aur Satyagraha”. All these events saw a good participation of students from DU colleges. The Fest was a huge success.
