Samarpan is a social club that aims at taking up all social issues and making people aware of the same. The main agenda of the club is to walk towards a better society to live in. Samarpan is a platform where one can express their concerns regarding all issues, be it for the issue or
against the issue.
The head of Samarpan for the AY 2020-21 is Girish Sharma, an SY student who believes that social work is as important as any other aspect of life. Keeping in mind COVID-19, his agenda for the club is:
● To promote absolute transparency in the club to increase the engagement of the student body,
● To initiate campaigns in college regarding all social issues, for example, the STOP campaign,
● To organize online competitions under the club related to social issues,
● To make SSE socially inclusive through talk sessions and social media,
● To collaborate with NGOs and ISR-SSE for various activities,
● To organize tree plantation, river cleaning, and animal protection drives in Pune.
Samarpan and ISR-SSE are often regarded as one because both of them are a part of the social wing. The clubs may have similar goals, that is, to spread awareness regarding everything, however, the functioning of both is different. While ISR-SSE is a club managed and answerable to the faculty, Samarpan is an independent club and has no involvement in the management. It is a diverse club, which acts on all issues, however, ISR-SSE works specifically with defined NGOs throughout the year.
Samarpan is a social club and plans its activities according to the present scenario. However, a few of the general activities that the club has planned are campaigns regarding social issues, e.g., STOP campaign (a gender-neutral campaign which was organized to express distress among the students regarding sexual harassment and rape culture), and completing NGO projects, e.g., the KSCF project (A project proposal for eradicating child labour in the country).
