‘Nurturing professionals
with a Difference’ is the motto of XISS Ranchi, and
it makes sure that this is fulfilled by engaging us in social service
fieldwork. This is the best way of sensitizing the future generation managers
to the needs and hopes of the poor and oppressed. It helps us realize the
importance of masses and not just being concerned with our own success at the
cost of others.
The Human Resource Department
has the social service field work as a compulsory part of its curriculum and is
not just as add on. There are various kinds of centres where we visit according
to our ability to contribute maximum. This year we have seven centres- Cheshire Home, Ranibagan; Gurunanak Home; Braja
kishore netrahin balika vidyalaya; M.M.K high school; St. Michael School,
Bahubazar; St. Xavier School and Govt. Middle school, Hindpiri. Students go
to these centres three days in a week for 2 hours. We go there not only to
teach, but to add values to the little children. We go there not only to help
the management of those centres but to spread happiness among those who don’t
have much to be happy about! We go to our respective centres on every special
occasion too to celebrate with the people there. Be it Independence Day,
children’s’ day, Diwali or Eid we go to our centres and celebrate with them.
And it in those moments that we realise that we too have become as much
important in their lives as they have become to ours’.
Our facilitator Prof.
Dr. Shyamal Gomes always keeps a close watch at everything we do and follows up
from time to time to make sure that what we are doing, we learn a great deal from it along with
contributing to the society as much as we can.
Celebrating our festivals with them do two major things- firstly
they make the people in those centres feel that there is someone out there
waiting to meet and greet them and they are not alone and secondly, it made us realise
that there is happiness outside our own family and friends circle too. For
instance, the latest Diwali festival celebrated by the HRM part I students
along with the centre people was a very happy affair. Decorating the centres,
distributing sweets and bursting crackers with them made them as well as us equally
happy and made us reflect on how the little efforts of ours can bring so much
joy in other peoples’ lives. And it stays on with us for long. Many of our
seniors are still in touch with their field work, visit the centres whenever
they can and always feel a close bond with their respective centres.
Along with our efforts and help of Prof. Shayamal Gomez we are
guided by Mr. Binod Thakur. Under
the banner of “joyful learning” we are taught how to overcome the problems
faced by us at the centre and the correct ways to overcome them.
This social service field work is what makes the pass outs of Xavier
Institute of Social Service, Ranchi, Professionals with a Difference!
