We have even expanded the curriculum to make it more relatable to the workers' needs. We now have included basic mathematics and basic knowledge (going cashless, how to fill forms etc ) for the benefit of the workers. Currently, mess workers and canteen workers in Hostels - 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 15 are benefiting from this program.

Prayog

Prayog

Prayog was started with a belief that science is better understood by demonstration. Our aim is to instill scientific temperament among the students by the means of simple, yet interesting and informative scientific experiments. The students get a chance to perform the experiments themselves after the demonstration. Also, care is taken to ensure that the experiments are performed with readily available apparatus so that the students can easily replicate them when they go home. All the experiments are followed by an explanation of the scientific principles on which the experiment is based.

Our Flagship Event

ABHINAY — “A Stage to Shine”

Abhinay is the flagship event of the department, bringing together students from NGOs across Mumbai for an inter-NGO competition that celebrates talent, creativity, and self-expression. The event provides students with a platform to showcase their abilities, interact with peers from different organisations, and gain confidence through participation and healthy competition.

Through competitions spanning various forms of art and expression, including dance, singing, poetry, art, and quizzing, Abhinay encourages students to explore and showcase their talents beyond the classroom. The event also provides opportunities for participants to learn from one another, build new experiences, and celebrate their achievements.

Abhinay also serves as a platform for participating NGOs to engage with the IIT Bombay community and showcase the talents and achievements of their students. By bringing together students from different organisations, the event creates an environment of interaction, healthy competition, and celebration, where every participant gets an opportunity to express themselves and shine.
