SPARSH
Sparsh exuberates the parallel extension of simplicity, cooperation, unwarranted support/kindness; laid down as formal principles of late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji. We, in our own little ways, try to lift up the lives of the downtrodden of the society-and bring back the precious and refreshing smile on their faces.
SPARSH is a student body of LBSIM which works for the welfare of the underprivileged sections of the society. Sparsh was founded initially to serve the blind. We had an association with NAB (National Association of Blind) in RK Puram, Delhi. Our students used to go there daily and spend time with the people there, - playing games, teaching them.
Currently we are working with an NGO and work in collaboration with them to provide education to underprivileged children. Students who are a part of Sparsh dedicate at least one day a week for these activities to help the children learn new skills.
A blood donation camp is also organized each year at our campus in Dwarka and plans are also afoot to start a helpline service for injured birds too.
We also celebrate different festivals in our own unique style. We celebrated the Independence Day at a school nearby teaching the children the actual meaning of Independence. Lohri was celebrated at an old age home in Najafgarh.
With the tremendous response shown by our students towards this initiative, we are sure that SPARSH will change more than just a few lives. Such initiatives are also backed by the institute’s administration as they are in consonance with the vision of Late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji. Despite the heavy schedule packed with classes and mid-term examinations, a good number of students set their foot forward for these noble causes.
