School Appreciation Letters
for SOCH
Naye SOCH – Naye DISHA
DME’s Vision as an Education Provider: “To nurture an inspirational setting and a global standard of learning for students that enables their intellectual, social and personal transformation into future leaders for the benefit of the nation.” Keeping this thought and to fulfil the vision, School Outreach Cell for Higher-education [SOCH] was established in 2017, with an objective of spreading awareness in significant areas [Career Guidance after class 10th and 12th, IPR Awareness, Entrepreneurial Mindset, Cyber Security and Mental Wellbeing] beyond the college walls. These sessions are focussed on the school students class 6th onwards to enable their intellectual, social, and personal transformation into confident individuals and capable future leaders.
The name SOCH [Thinking, विचार, मनन,] symbolizes the change in thinking process of students at an early and impressionable age. SOCH has always been at the forefront by helping the school ecosystem by conducting series of hands-on workshops, awareness sessions, trainings, and panel discussions in above mentioned important areas of learning.
When school students joined DME in various courses the faculty members used to commonly observe that students are having:
- Knowledge confined to class 11-12th
- Focused on short term goal of suitable Board Exam Percentage. No aim beyond that.
- Living under tremendous social and parental pressure to perform well in academics. Plentiful bottled-up feelings and devoid of avenue to talk/share/ seek help from.
- Aware of limited career options and making career choices based on false information and assumptions.
- Choosing higher education courses based on parental wishes/pressure but dissatisfied from within and feeling unfit in that domain.
School students alone cannot be hand-held and expected to get transformed unless the whole School Ecosystem was taken into consideration. Hence SOCH was built to hand-hold of the ecosystem from where a school student was coming from.
- To take school students beyond the defined curriculum and expand horizons of their real-world knowledge on key areas related to Entrepreneurship Development, IPR Awareness, Mental Health Wellbeing, and Cyber Security Awareness.
- To educate students and parents about domain/career/higher education choices after 10th-12th to make an informed decision based on student skills/ personality traits and ease out pressure on young minds.
- To actively involve school teachers to train them in new teaching methods, ICT enabled teaching methods etc,
- To involve school principals in leadership capacity building and collective discussion on important aspects in Academics, Skill Building, NEP, G20, SDG’s etc pertinent areas.
