Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much. – Helen Keller

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 strive 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 the nation building as they are engaged in providing elementary and basic education to the under-privileged children of nearby places.

This is to acknowledge the unstinting efforts put forward by Mr. Ankit Khandelwal (17bcs013), pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Ms. Sukriti Gupta (17bec057), pursuing B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mr. Archit Sharma (16bme008), pursuing B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and Mr. Gurprit Singh(16bcs013), pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering as the best volunteers of Vikalp for the month of February 2018.

They were responsible, rendering overall counselling, lessons on general health and hygiene, and imparting basic education to the children and coordinating events to celebrate life. As volunteers of Vikalp, they participated in every initiative taken forward and are still offering commendable services. 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.
