Volunteers registered for VIKALP – a students’ initiative at SMVDU have been doing a great job since the onset of these initiatives in the university. These students realize their social responsibility and try their best to offer it to the destitute and needy. Despite hectic academic schedule, volunteers at Vikalp reach to fulfil their duties towards the society. They are the real life heroes in the lives of those they have helped and still helping. Their efforts cannot be paid in pennies and pounds but have already gathered a lot of love and goodwill. They realize that every drop of their sweat will go towards nation building as they are engaged in giving basic education to the under-privileged children of nearby places.

This is to acknowledge the unstinting efforts put forward by Ms. SALONI SETH (17BCS045), pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering along with Ms. SAMRIDHI SAJOTRA (17bec049), Mr. NEEL KAMAL (17bec038) with Ms. SHRIYA JAMWAL (17bec054) pursuing B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering as the best volunteers of Vikalp for the month of October 2017. They were responsible, rendering overall counselling, lessons on general health and hygiene, and imparting basic education to the children. As freshers they participated in every initiative taken forward and are still offering commendable services. Their contribution to Children Day celebration was phenomenal. Vikalp family extends their cordial gratitude towards these volunteers and wish them the very best for all future endeavours. We also wish that they can inspire other students and take this altruistic effort to the next level.
