AGENDA
For the post of General Secretary, Welfare Board
If elected as the General Secretary, Welfare Board, I propose to undertake the
following initiatives:
IIT GUWAHATI HOSPITAL & MEDICAL POLICY
In view of the immense difficulty faced by members of the IIT-G
community in transactions with the IITG Hospital, I propose the
complete computerization of records and accounts of the hospital,
integrated with the webmail of the people. The portal developed will
also have a feedback mechanism, appointment booking facility, along
with the complete details, qualifications and working hours of the
medical staff of the Hospital.
SESSION REGISTRATION
To ease the registration process of students for successive sessions, I
propose to increase the number of days of registration session to two,
and a reduction in the penalty for late registration to a more reasonable
amount.
CAMPUS LITERACY PROGRAM
I aspire to achieve 100% Campus Literacy for IIT-Guwahati through
identification of illiterate and semi-literate of the working class of IIT-
Guwahati, including mess/canteen workers, security personnel and
laborers, and integrating it with the existing Zero Illiteracy Zone (ZIZ)
program underway through the Social Club.
PROGRAMME FOR PLACEMENT TRAINING
To equip the students of the campus with essential skills for placement, I
aspire to organize regular training programs for improving skills in Group
Discussions, Personal interviews, General Aptitude, Coding etc., in
association with the Placement Team, by inviting companies and experts
in the respective fields.
TOASTMASTER’S- IITG GUWAHATI CHAPTER
I propose the setup of the Toastmasters chapter in IIT-Guwahati, an
organization aimed at improving speaking and leadership skills of people
through regular group sessions, which will go a long way in improving
the personality of campus community.
UDBHAV
In continuation of the legacy of the Udbhav, a series of talks, events,
workshops and competitions aimed at the welfare of the campus, I wish
to introduce inter hostel GC events as part of Udbhav, to inculcate a
culture of student involvement, competitive spirit and overall
sensitization of the campus community towards ventures of campus
welfare. The GC events may include events like Energy Saving, Hostel
Cleanliness, Paper Collection, Food Saving, Paper Presentation on green
issues and competitions for finding innovative, technological solutions to
common problems of the campus, and world in general.
COUNSELLLING CLUB
With the view of expanding the horizon of the activities of the
counselling club, I propose a dedicated outreach program to reach out
to the members of the campus community, including ventures like a
portal for reporting yours or your friends’ problems anonymously. I
propose the appointment of additional counsellors, with the expertise in
dealing with cases of sexual harassment, and cases related to
stigmatization of the LGBT community.
INTERACTION CLUB
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
I propose to increase the number of collective meetings of mentors and
first year students, especially before periods like mid and end semester
examinations. These sessions will feature talks by mentors on their
experiences in the institute and during interns, as well as experiences of
the freshers to facilitate interaction.
SESSIONS WITH COURSE INSTRUCTORS
In order to bridge the communication gap between students and
instructors, I propose to organize timely chat sessions between them,
especially for first year students, with the aim of building a strong
academic foundation.
UG-PG INTERACTION
In order to promote interaction between under graduate and post
graduate communities, I propose to organize collaborative academic
activities, in addition to the sports and cultural activities already
underway, to promote sharing of wisdom and technical expertise
between them. The activities could include collaborative paper
presentation competitions, during festivals like TechEvince.
SOCIALS CLUB
In addition to continuing a myriad of activities and ventures already
introduced as a part of socials club, like ZIZ, Cleanliness, Cloth Collection,
Paper Collection and Plantation Drives, Blood Donation Camp, I will vie
to introduce internship opportunities in NGOs to encourage students to
take welfare of the society as a career path.
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT CLUB
I propose to introduce regular, weekly self-defense/martial arts classes
to empower the students of the campus and organize timely drug and
alcohol de-addiction camps, which could also be made compulsory for
students identified of the menace of alcohol addiction.
ONLINE SUGGESTIONS PORTAL
I envisage the formation of an online suggestions and feedback portal
for the Welfare Board in particular, and the Gymkhana in general to stay
in touch with problems of the students of the campus.
DEALING WITH CASES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
In recognition of the deeply embarrassing and unfortunate occurrence
of a case of sexual harassment in the previous session, I hope to play my
part in preventing such cases in the future, by organizing workshops on
sensitization towards the boundaries at the workplace and to encourage
reporting of such cases. The anonymous problems portal will also play a
role in this direction.
PG HOSTEL ISSUES
I would also like to indicate my deep resolve to play an active role in
resolving the numerous living issues present in the hostels being
inhabited by the members of PG community, including Dibang hostel.
RAGGING ISSUES
I propose formation of concrete rules in relation to Student’s
Disciplinary Action, and an overall rehabilitative approach towards the
students accused of such an offence, so that can be given a chance to
improve upon their actions.
CAMPUS BUS FACILITY
I propose the installation of GPS devices in the busses operating inside
and outside the campus. Further a mobile app will be created to inform
the passengers about the position of the bus, the bus schedule and the
contacts of the bus drivers.
