Jayoti Vidyapeeth Women’s University (Jaipur): Mission Integration

KKHA Arts, SMGL Commerce, and SPH Jain Science College have adopted five villages - Rajdervadi, Jopul, Nimgavhan, Magarul and Nandurtek under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan program. The students and faculty team of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan conducted a survey in Rajdevadi, Jopul, Nimgavhan, and Mangrul to understand the needs of the villagers, their problems and how much they are aware of the various Government schemes that can benefit them. The report was submitted to the GramSevak and Sarpanch, where they came to know about which schemes are needed in the village and the status of previous schemes implemented in the villages.

2. Technology Reach to Village Students

Problem Analysis As these villages are not-so-well connected to the cities, it was observed that the newly updated technologies get time to reach these villages. As a result, village students lack skills for the optimal utilization of computers. Work done Seeing this, the college students in the UBA team helped village school students in learning basic features of the computer in various fields such as the use of Paint and MS Office in an interesting way to increase their curiosity towards technology. Major Impact

• The school students showed interest in learning computers.
• They now easily make use of computers for basic operations.

3.Medical Check-up Camp

Problem Analysis It was observed that the villagers depend on medicines made from forest herbs and local trees which take time to cure the disease and sometimes didn’t work. This is due to long-distance and less connectivity to urban areas.  Work done After analyzing the problem, the college’s UBA team organized a Medical Check-up Camp in which students were checked for BMI, fever, eyes/ears, physical injuries & other medical problems. The counseling of students regarding medical treatment was also done. College also provided free medicines to the needy students. Major Impact

• Students became aware of the symptoms of various commonly-spread diseases.
• During counseling, students promised to keep their village premises clean and healthy.
