Student Volunteerism
LEARNERS TO LEADERS:STUDENT VOLUNTEERISM
CSA’s Student Volunteerism is helping the students transform from being Learners to to Leaders. Students are engaged through six cohorts, in which every cohort is led by three/four cohort representatives and guided by a mentor.
We sensitize student volunteers through student programs. Students’ initiatives are directed to focus on child development and society as a whole. The student program consists of:
Cohort 1 - Education and Skill Development (Learn. Ignite. Discover.)
The Education and Skill Development cohort under CSA aims to incentivise education for all through the volunteers’ body and resources. It aligns with the values of Right to Education and NILP government policy and focuses on education and development of children in the adopted project areas of the Centre and also on skill development for dropouts. It involves several training and workshop programmes to incentivise soft and hard skills, equipping the learner to bag jobs and choose a suitable career efficiently. It engages volunteers with daily teaching sessions and events, with a focus on education and skill development sensitivity.
Cohort 2 - Environment and Sustainability (Revive. Resurge. Restore.)
The primary objective of the Environment and Sustainability Cohort is to foster awareness and understanding of environmental issues and sustainability, while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 13 and 15. It aims to promote and instill practices of environmental sustainability by implementing a range of initiatives that are designed to engage individuals and communities in taking proactive steps towards creating a sustainable future. By raising awareness and educating on environmental challenges, the cohort empowers participants to make informed decisions and take meaningful action.
Cohort 3 - Health, Hygiene, and Well-Being (Care. Nurture. Support.)
This cohort aims for development and accessibility of healthcare across communities, to sensitize communities on health education and promote clean habits. Its activities are aligned to the Ayushman Bharat Initiative of the Government of India and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals -1 No poverty, 2 Zero Hunger, 3 Good health & Well-being and 11 Sustainable Cities & Community. It will majorly strive to improve overall health, well-being and contribute to a sustainable lifestyle, imparting knowledge for the well-being of society.
Cohort 4 - Media and Advocacy (Create. Express. Reform.)
The Media and Advocacy cohort of CSA will be taking care of the overall media, documentation and communication needs of the organization. The cohort will also take up activities and initiatives relating to sensitisation through various digital, theatrical and non-theatrical modes.
Drishti will focus on mass sensitisation through forms of theatre, with the major focus on street plays, while expanding to other forms of theatre, such as stage plays and mimes. These plays will be performed on campus, in project areas and various other places across the city for maximum sensitisation.

Cohort 5 -Child Sponsorship Programme (Educate. Empower. Elevate.)
The Educate a Child Sponsorship Programme is a flagship initiative of CHRIST (Deemed to be University), which aims to inculcate the values of social responsibility. Christites are encouraged to sponsor the education of underprivileged children in the project areas. Annually, the Centre supports the education of 40+ students through the efforts of the management, faculty and students.
The Child Sponsorship Programme cohort aims to transform the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 of Quality Education into a reality. It would also seek to conduct awareness campaigns and distribute educational and nutritional kits. The members would take up frequent review meetings to discuss and ideate on ways to develop social responsibility within the campus.
Cohort 6 - Social Entrepreneurship (Initiate. Innovate. Inculcate)
The Social Entrepreneurship cohort seeks to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth by fostering business skills and innovation through a multi-dimensional approach, equipping students and alumni with the abilities and resources to manage social enterprises. It will also provide support to such entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and take marketing opportunities, working closely with them to develop a greater number of Self Helps Groups and empower locals. The programme is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to promoting decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), fostering innovation and partnerships for sustainable development (SDG 17).
