Sanjeevani Club

Objectives:

The goal of this project is twofold:

• To introduce students to the scientific research method in general by working scientifically through project development and preparation, data acquisition and treatment, analysis and conclusions.
• To enhance interest in scientific studies by making them more attractive and getting the students involved in the “learning”.

This scientific club aims to keep students involved in educational activities, and to accomplish this aim, various quizzes, OLAMPIAD and other hands-on interesting activities like poster competition, model making to enhance interest of students in science and particularly physics, chemistry, microbiology, mathematics and biotechnology subjects.

Activities Proposed:

The Club has three main areas of activity: Academic, Recruitment and Social.

Academic:

Graduate and undergraduate students will be an integral part of setting up, for development of the scientific programs. Club members will work directly with Faculty to provide feedback and solve problems, and make the programs the best they can be for future students.

Recruitment:

Scientific Club members will begin a unique initiative in giving presentations at local high school Science classes. University students communicating enthusiastically to potential students about further education in general, degree courses and academic choices has proved to be a real 'hit' with School Teachers and students alike. The Science Club will be very active in 'on campus' events too.

Social:

Students like to have fun!

“Work hard, Play hard”

, as they say.

The club will work on to celebrate various prominent days in field of science. Below are few mentioned to show the trend.

• February 28: Dr. C.V. Raman birth anniversary day.
• March 14: Birth Anniversary of Albert Einstein.
• November 30: Birth anniversary of Jagdish Chandra Bose.
• August 30: Rutherford birth anniversary day.
• August 26: Birth Anniversary of Antoine Lavoisier (Father of chemistry).

This Club will organize a variety of activities, including: parties, eating out, quiz games ('The Einstein Cup'), a camp out, watching scientific movies, Science fair, Departmental Lunch, microspect, guest lectures and so on.
