The Philosophy of Edu-Socio Connect……

Social change may take place – when humans need change. When the existing social system or network of social institutions fails to meet the existing human needs and when new materials suggest better ways of meeting human needs. The role of education as an instrument of social change and social development is widely recognized today.

Management Education can initiate social changes by bringing about a change in outlook and attitude of man. It can bring about a change in the pattern of social relationships and thereby it may cause social changes.

D.Y.Patil School of Management, Lohegaon, Pune has initiated Edu-Socio Connect activity & we are determined to play a major role in equalizing opportunities in three ways.

1. By making it possible for all those who have the desire to be educated and the ability to benefit by that facility;
2. By developing a content of education which will promote the development of a scientific and objective outlook.
3. By creating a social environment of mutual tolerance based on religion, language, caste, class, etc. for providing equal opportunities of social mobility to all individuals in society, and for providing equal opportunity to secure good education is crucial.

PROJECT

Pravah is an initiative taken by Dr. D Y Patil School Of Management, Lohegaon, Pune. We provide awareness to ensure a proper hygienic life to the workers. Our main motto is to make them aware of the Sanitation. All the workers have a right to basic facilities such as clean toilets, safe drinking water, clean surroundings and basic information on hygiene.

Workers on construction sites normally migrate from one place to another in search of a livelihood. Families on the construction site often live under unhygienic conditions without electricity and clean drinking water.

PRAVAH ensures access to safe drinking water and sanitation by:

• Access to a safe water source and extraction facility,
• Separate toilets for male and female workers,
• Doors and adequate lighting to ensure privacy and safety.
• It also ensures regular hygiene education to all workers and their families by:
• Hand washing before handling food and after contact with faces,
• Use of toilets,
• Menstrual hygiene (education, access to sanitary napkins, toilets with cleaning and disposal facilities),
• Garbage disposal.

A DAY WITH THEM

We spend a whole day on 16th of September, 2017 with the workers of pride world city. We came to know about the ground reality of them. It’s an eye opener for us though they have their basic amenities but they have lack of knowledge of hygiene and sanitation. Thus Pravah group is here for them to make them aware of the proper hygiene and sanitation. We put a step towards the welfare of the workers to make them aware how to keep their toilets, surroundings clean and provide basic information on hygiene.

Though the Pride Group has provided the workers with the basic amenities, but as a part of the society its our responsibility to do something better for them from our part.

GLIMPSE OF THE DAY
