STUDENTS INDUCTION PROG

Purpose of the Student Induction Program is to help new students adjust and feel comfortable in the new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution, help them build bonds with other students and faculty members, and expose them to a sense of larger purpose and self exploration. The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the incumbants adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment

In other words, it is a well planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particular institution, and connect them with the people in it. Student Induction Program engages with the new students as soon as they come into the institution; regular classes start only after that. At the start of the induction, the incumbants learn about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor groups are formed. Then the different activities start, including those which are daily. Here is a list of activities: • Physical Activity • Creative Arts and Culture • Mentoring & Universal Human Values • Familiarization with College, Dept./Branch • Literary Activity • Proficiency Modules • Lectures & Workshops by Eminent People • Visits in Local Area • Extra-Curricular Activities in College • Feedback and Report on the Program The time during the Induction Program is also used to rectify some critical lacunas, for example, English background, for those students who have deficiency in it. These are included under Proficiency Modules. There will be a 3-week long induction program for the UG students entering the institution, right at the start. Normal classes start only after the induction program is over. Its purpose is to make the students feel comfortable in their new environment, open them up, set a healthy daily routine, create bonding in the batch as well as between faculty and students, develop awarness, sensitivity and understanding of the self, people around them, society at large, and nature.
