DEPARTMENT OF LIFELONG LEARNING AND EXTENSION

DESIGN OF PROJECT REPORT WRITING 2023-2024

• Acknowledgement by the Student

I extend my gratitude to my project mentor (Prof. Tejas Vijay Pednekar) and my college

principal (Dr. Debjit Sarkar) for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work on this project

and providing the necessary resources and encouragement that enabled me to do this

project. Further I would like to thank my parents and friends for helping me throughout this

project.

• My reason for joining Extension Work Activity:

Answer: I wanted to be the part of this activity where I can get socially connected to people in

their problem solving. To build social responsibility in myself and learning by rendering my time

to society. I wanted to experience and to bring awareness among society with regards to

population .

• Please write about:

• How I started

• How I was trained – acquired skills

• How I built rapport with the others / community around.

• How I worked and the kind of work, carried out

(Write in detail with your experiences & Project related data)

Answer: I was glad that I got an opportunity to be the part of this Department of

Life-long Learning and extension. I was thrilled to participate in activities. I got socially
 3

connected with people. I grew my communication skills. I am more confident now after

participating in DLLE. I was somewhere a helping hand for people. The seminar

regarding road safety was all new to me. I came across road safety rules. Which need to

be known to everybody. Those rules are not only for the person who drives the two

wheelers or three wheelers, those are meant for pedestrians also. Many more activities

and seminars were held and all were informative and productive.

• Please write about the difficulties you faced while conducting activities.

Answer: One of the significant challenges I encountered was maintaining activities on

schedule due to delayed information reaching us in a timely manner. This posed difficulties in

coordinating and planning, leading to missed deadlines and disrupted schedules.

• How did you overcome the difficulties?

Answer: To address this issue, we initiated efforts to streamline our communication channels,

ensuring prompt and efficient dissemination of information among all. This enhancement in

communication facilitated better coordination and enabled us to execute activities in a timelier

manner.

• Please write about your expectations from extension work activities.

Answer: I was expecting more practical activities and a greater number of them in DLLE.

Practical activities, where we can apply what we learn in real life, are very helpful for learning.

Doing more of these activities will help us understand better and learn more skills. Also, having

a variety of activities more often would be great because it exposes us to different things and

makes learning more interesting

 4

• Are your expectations fulfilled? Please brief.

Answer:Some of my expectations from DLLE were met through the activities offered, but I was

hoping for more. While I found the activities helpful, I thought there could be a greater variety

and more of them. Even though I gained value from the activities I took part in, I believe that

having more practical exercises and covering a wider range of topics would have made my

learning experience even better.

• What did you learn by Extension Activities? (gain / loss)

Answer: Participating in extension activities has significantly broadened my understanding and

prepared me to contribute to society. These activities have not only deepened my knowledge of

various topics but have also equipped me with valuable skills that are essential for making

meaningful contributions to society. Additionally, engaging in extension activities has allowed

me to interact with diverse communities and perspectives, further enriching my learning

experience. Overall, these activities have played a crucial role in shaping me into a more

informed and socially responsible individual.

• How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?

Answer: Extension work helps me contribute to society by teaching me about different issues

and how I can help solve them. It gives me a chance to learn new skills and understand more

about the world around me. When I participate in extension activities, I meet people from

different backgrounds and learn from their experiences. This helps me become more aware of

the needs of my community and find ways to make a positive impact. Overall, extension work
 5

helps me become a better citizen by giving me the tools and knowledge to help others and

improve society.

• What is your suggestion?

Answer: I would like to suggest that you must conduct more programs like this. It will add

value to students’ development.

Environmental Destruction

Human activities such as deforestation, industrialization, and intensive

agriculture are driving environmental destruction. Deforestation disrupts
ecosystems and accelerates biodiversity loss, while industrialization and
urbanization pollute air, water, and soil. Intensive agriculture contributes
to soil degradation and contamination, undermining ecosystem health.
These pressures collectively exacerbate environmental destruction.

Consequences include compromised ecosystems, heightened food

insecurity, and health issues like respiratory ailments and waterborne
diseases. Vulnerable communities bear the brunt of these consequences,
facing disproportionate risks.

Mitigation requires sustainable practices like renewable energy adoption

and sustainable land management. Conservation efforts, such as
protected areas and reforestation, can restore ecosystems. Promoting
environmental education and awareness empowers individuals to adopt
sustainable lifestyles. Collective action at all levels is crucial for
preserving the planet for future generations.
