Membership and invitation to Volunteer

All students at the time of orientation are briefed about all the activities of Centre for Social Responsibility at RVIM. The session is designed to present the important programmes conducted during the previous year through documented photographs and videos. Later the students are informed on importance of CSR activities in their future career as per CSR information in Section 135 of The Indian Companies Act, 2013 .A quick survey is done to understand the number of students who have been associated with Scouts, Guides, NCC, NSS and other Voluntary Service forum like Lions Club, Rotary Club and other NGOs. RVIM-CSR has designed a unique form to invite students to participate in CSR programmes . Alternately also students interested to be a part of some programmes are grouped based on place of stay. For Example –Students residing in Jayanagar Hostel and nearby Paying Guest Accomodation are connected to a common message platform on their mobile devices. When programmes are arranged in short notice or when RVIM-CSR is invited by other NGOs for a programme then the information is passed on to all the students residing in Jayanagar to participate in the programme . A classic example could be Walkathons and Marathons organized by various NGOs. The same practice is adopted to inform all the students to engage in CSR activities during vacation.
